    Al Gore has a remarkable ability to answer a question, any question, with climate change data. There's a game in that somewhere. #g4c2011

    #G4C2011 Al Gore's keynote reminds us that Play has an important purpose in society, and that Games have clearly arrived as mass media!

    @360KID Instead of "who has the most points" it focuses on newest contributors, most engaged, level of collaboration, content, etc #g4c2011

    My biggest takeaway so far is that collaboration works better in games for change than competition alone. #g4c2011
