I’m guessing, then, that it hasn’t worked out that way. But didn’t they realize their screw-up later on and open up the specification?

So, I’m thinking that you ought to set up a wiki page where we can contribute all the IoT communication systems, e.g. the Polulu Wixel, and the system(s!) using the RFM12b (e.g. http://jeelabs.com/collections/types?q=Wireless, and the Electric Imp, and the system that the LIFX is using.

There is a depressingly large number of ways for devices to talk to each other using a not-very-large set of technologies.

I thought the whole point behind 802.15.4′s ZigBee was that was going to be the standard upper layer. And then they copyrighted and licensed it. WTF??

Hi, I’m greatly encouraged to see some sane viewpoints on “gamification” and the Tune Hopper app is a great start. Thanks for bucking the trend, and also, thanks for your personal courage to avoid the damaging behavior described. One good point with these things is how they exaggerate and thereby uncover other behaviors that might be destructive in the long-term.

Good luck!

So true, Silona! Even worse, I frequently encounter calls to “gamily” tools. This goes beyond badges without engagement: it distracts from and degrades the fundamental purpose and value of the product. It’s not merely pointless, it undermines the very product.

Your redirect to helping people learn, on the other hand, seems very appropriate. You might even have saved me from writing gamification off completely!
