The Gamification Gurus Power 100 ranked individual social influence from 2012 to 2019. It is no longer active.

Any questions on this list or gamification in general - please contact Toby Beresford

This month we saw the biggest climbs from Cesc Garriga Pons (up 81 places to 37th), Juan J. F. Valera Mariscal (up 70 places to 48th), and Samantha Clarke (up 60 places to 33rd).

Well done to this week's top three Dade Ronan, Andrzej Marczewski, and Gustavo Tondello.

I've dropped blog posts from the analysis for the time being as there are a few outstanding blog post collection problems for a few individuals. The complexity of sourcing data from many different types of blog platforms! Until these are resolved I am not publishing blog analytics.

If there are other platforms you would like gamification specific personal analytics on, then please let me know.

Have a great October.

Toby
