 		Jane McGonigal Paper on ILB - BoingBoing Reports
Why I Love Bees: A Case Study in Collective Intelligence Gaming
http://www.boingboing.net/2008/02/21/collective-intellige.html

Quote:
What is it about scale and complexity that supports inclusive participation? How, in the case of the I Love Bees GPS coordinates, can a single data set support such a vast range of interpretations and yet also directly inspire such a rigorous course of collective analysis? I would argue that the primary puzzle of I Love Bees embodied a meaningful ambiguity. That is, the data set lacked the clarity of formal interactive instructions, yet maintained a distinctively sensical nature. That is, the choice and ordering of the coordinates did not seem nonsensical. Instead, its arrangement was structured and seemingly intentional enough that it promised to mean something, if only approached in the right way. This meaning was implied through the specificity, volume and overtly designed presentation of the data.


The article includes a link to the full pdf. Not sure if this is a new version, belated post, or what. The "Feb2007" name in the url for the article has me confused.

 		That's because this paper was originally published in February 2007.

Odd that BoingBoing seems to be posting so much old news, lately. I wonder why?

 		My assumption is this was rereleased for the "Ecologies of Play" anthology, as the paper is listed as 'forthcoming' on the avantgame website.

But it sure is confusing.
