This week, the Part 2 of our Games & Apps 2012 series focuses on Facebook apps.
For brands, a Facebook presence is at least as important as a website - in some cases even more important. Facebook content, however, can't just be re-purposed website content.

This presentation looks why brands should consider Facebook apps and how to go about developing one.

3RDSENSE was in the news last week when our CEO, Colin Cardwell, was quoted extensively in B&T's feature on gamification.
The feature on gamification draws on comment from Colin, giving an introduction to the concept and examining how brands are integrating the strategies and motivators of games to acquire customers and keep them loyal.
In February this year I blogged about how the 'develop once, distribute everywhere' model for app and game development that had been so long-discussed was starting to become a reality. Adobe AIR was making it possible to package apps developed in Flash for multiple platforms. The tools were less than perfect but they were showing strong signs of promise.
Well, nine months is a long time in app development and the promise is now being realised.
