If you haven’t heard yet, IBM and Bunchball have gotten together to develop a gamification system for IBM Connections called Level Up. Gamification has been a hot topic and using it to encourage participation in you new social network deployments makes tremendous sense.
To show how Level Up works with Connections, BunchBall put together the YouTube video shown here.
The video does an excellent job of introducing the need for gamification and how Level Up can be used to drive adoption of Connections.
Perficient can help you with your Connections and Level Up projects.
