HiveBuzz : A Gameification Project on Hive

HiveBuzz

If you research Improving User Engagement on Social Media Projects you will find the word Gameification, which as mentioned above means make something like a Game or Fun.
And according to Social Media Experts, those people who write articles and publish them on the Internet, making things Fun increases User Engagement. User Engagement equals Webpage views, and webpages views increase advertising revenue and improve financial viability of social media projects.
So in other words if you make something fun, people use it more, and this use translates intto financial success for the project.

I think the colorful badges are incentive to complete simple tasks. Which increases page views, which is how the world objectively measures success.
I think the colorful pages stimulate curiousity, as people want to know what they mean and how many of them do they have.. this increases pageviews.
I think the ranking stimulates curiousity.
For instance what ranking am I?
Who is ranked first?
Who are in the top Ten?
This natural curiousity and competiveness of humans draws us into the world of HiveBuzz.
I think it's like scrolling on TikToc or YouTube : we can't help it! LOL
I think all these clicks to check out rankings, colorful badges, events and other things are normal activity which generates lots of pageviews.
