I wrote a blog post about this trend around checkins a couple of months ago in which I asked the question why we don’t implement these game mechanics into education?
And actually some of the big ivy league universities just recently teamed up with Foursquare another to enhance the campus experience but those are all location based rewards meaning that you need to check in on the actual campus to gain badges etc.
Badgeville brings this experience to websites and blogs, enabling highly customizable rewards for actions on the internet.
