Awesome talk. He points out a number of psychological hooks that games are now using to interweave real life. And takes that to its logical conclusion (I won't spoil what this is) which actually seems mostly plausible and maybe even welcome to me -- given that one is able to anonymously opt-out of all the games/location-data publishing.

#3The talk is the excellent, the video is terrible and does not show the slides at all. You can view the slides here: http://www.slideshare.net/jesseschell/beyond-facebook

#4If you decide to watch this and during the last few minutes decide it's a bit over the top and want to stop I suggest you hold on until the last 30 seconds. I almost gave up before then but I'm glad I finished.

Opt-out?
Well, this person needs our special attention. We sholud protect the society from all this "opt-outs".

#7I've been thinking along the lines of the thoughts he presents at the end of the presentation. Once data collection becomes easy, more people will live a reflective life and make better choices. We will also see less hypocrisy as the illusion of their perceived self, how they see themselves, is contrasted by their real behavior. A trivial example would be, X is my favorite food and Y is my favorite band. Well according to this data you eat Z instead of X, and you listen to B at a much greater frequency than you do Y.

Finished watching the video.
I can't tell if it was inspiring or intensely dystopic.
I can already imagine the anti-point backlash and the giant secretive forums for gaming the system.
