Ask HN: Good examples of social networks with a game mechanism?

1 pointsby agatonover 14 years ago

Rewards, achievements and game mechanisms in social networks is a strong force to get people engaged. Foursquare and Gowalla are two great examples of this.<p>So, I'm currently looking for more examples of this and how you can make this type of mechanisms to work. Any thoughts or examples out there?

Of course, you're on a social network right now which uses game mechanisms.<p>My understanding is the entire x-box live is based on game mechanisms.
