Successfully integrating UGC right now
We are working with an awesome team from Paris, an organisation calling themselves Citizenside. They’re great to work with, their passion is incredible and they’re genuine.
All too often, you come across companies that give you their pitch, attempting to baffle you with jargon or just giving the hard sell. Citizenside don’t do that and that’s why it’s fun to be working with them. Long may it continue.

Game Dynamics in Networked News
How to create compelling interactive experiences to attract, motivate and retain a news community.
“At the most basic level, any news operation that wants to survive must attract, motivate and retain a network of active users – whatever its business model. This is precisely what game design is about: creating intrinsically rewarding experiences.“
