Earning Spacepoints - Ideas

• User posts an activity in one of the above categories and earns a point

• Earn a point for each person that gives that activity a thumbs up (come up with space name for "liking")

• Earn a point for logging in each day (to encourage people to see what others are doing for outreach and to vote on the activities taking place)

• Each category will award a point to the activity with the most thumbs up for the day

• For every 25 votes a user makes they then earn 1 point

Additional Capabilities?• Besides thumbs up button, have a "launch it" button to move an activity to

the top of the category list (does not award points, but is equivalent of Twitter retweet providing higher visibility)

• Have a friends list in the system so you can easily vote for what your friends did

• Show highest ranking users• Highlight big winners of day (most thumbs up) and (most launch it) by

categories• Have each posting open for voting for 3-7 days (at first until users in

database grow then close voting after 24 hrs)• Provide 3 ways to view – everyone, friends, people who have voted for me• Provide links to share post on twitter and/facebook• Make sure database is open to anyone who wants to create their own apps.

Launch and Go!

• Launch – – From the Launchpad platform, users can select to “launch”

other users’ posted actions to promote them and top “launched” posts are displayed on the homepage/main column for everyone to see

– Can have a Launch button that embeds on websites and when clicked, will give the content a chance to be promoted on the Launchpad also.

• Go! – Button that can be embedded on websites and Spacepoints

users will earn a “point” by clicking the Go! Button and this will share the content with their followers on Launchpad
