Leaderboard - Gamification Gurus Power 100 - July 2017 - July News

July 2017 - July News

Big shout out to Ahmad Hossam who has climbed a massive 121 places to number 2 this month! Well done. His Slideshare views have really helped him top the charts.

Looking at his content on Slideshare he says Gamification is 75% Psychology and 25% Technology. Do you agree? I started a thread on this in the Gamification Hub.

Technical news: we've implemented a new blog data collector this month. If you've not verified your blog with Rise then this would be a good month to do it. And, any issues picking up blog posts, we'll get on it.
