Badgeville launches Dynamic Game Engine and Widget Studio In an era where rewarding customer involvement has exploded to a whole new level through social media, companies are starving to get their hands on solutions that they can leverage to take advantage of social gaming and it's popularity. Back in December I wrote about Moxsie.com's use of Badgeville as their weapon of choice for building customer incentive through a Facebook badge program in an effort to involve their fans in the buying process. Badgeville won the Audience Choice Award when it launched at the Tech Crunch Disrupt last September and the demand for their social reward system has gone nowhere but up. Industry leading brands like Island Def Jam (Universal Music), The Active Network, Bluefly.com and more have signed on with Badgeville to harness the viral power of gamification to help reach user-driven objectives, turning it into profit.

Marvel Launches Augmented Reality Comics Marvel has announced its new ‘ReEvolution’ initiative with an augmented reality app called Marvel AR that will include digital extras for readers and a digital-only imprint called Infinite Comics, which will offer comics that tie-in with print titles. Marvel AR is a free app that has been developed in partnership with Aurasma. The software allows readers to scan their print comics with the camera of their smartphone or tablet to unlock extras. These will include parts of the writer’s script, editors’ comments and original artwork, and readers can expect around 8 extras per comic. The first offering from Infinite Comics will be an Avengers Vs. X-Men #1 tie-in story starring Nova by Mark Waid and Stuart Immonen.
NOTTV: Japan Gets Smartphone-Only TV Channel (Video) NOTTV – that’s the name of a new mobile TV channel that could one day replace 1Seg, the current TV and broadcasting standard for Japanese cell phones. Japan’s biggest mobile carrier NTT Docomo, the country’s biggest ad agency Dentsu, and a handful of private-sector broadcasters are planning to launch NOTTV on April 1 this year. What’s interesting is that picture quality will be significantly better than with 1Seg and that NOTTV will be available exclusively for Android smartphones and tablets. The service consists of three different channels showing content such as news, sports events, TV series, etc. – 24 hours a day. mmbi, a joint venture between Docomo and its partners, is planning to charge 420 Yen (US$5.30) per month for NOTTV, while 1Seg is free (owning a 1seg-compatible handset is enough). Users can only access NOTTV programs through devices supporting the new service (see the picture and video embedded below for the first two models).
Web Search Strategies The Web may seem like a vast ocean when it comes to finding something you need.
