READ MORE
An introduction to the SXSW event 2 years ago by Event Planner Cary Caldwell + a subsequent chance encounter with online community legend Kris Krug at SXSW 2008 were enough to kick start a chain reaction of inspiration for Christchurch, New Zealand based ‘creative’ Jolene Parker.
Upon returning to New Zealand Jolene set about making change happen. Within 2 months her co founder Mark was on the mission to set up a simple community blog as the beginning of a larger creative community concept. Putting the unity back in community. Creativesoulchristchurch.com challenges Christchurch "creatives" to extend beyond their small community, gain skills + return to enrich the community with this knowledge. It is also becoming a real world community with small events being hosted regularly. Creativesoulchirstchurch.com is hoping to host a breakthrough Australasian event with Kris Krug + the Raincity Studios team in 2009.

Computer games are becoming increasingly social, whether by having groups of real people play together or by allowing people to share and compare scores, ranks, and trophies. Social software can be a more playful, less utilitarian affair. So what can we learn from game design that we can apply to non-game social software? Can we make users more passionate? Can we change their behavior? Can we make our social software tools more useful?
