My name's Seth Priebatsch. I'm the chief ninja of SCVNGR. I'm a porud Princeton douport. Also proud to have relocated here to bsootn, where I actually grew up.

(Applause) Yeah, Boston.

Easy wins, I should just name the counties that we've got around here. I'm also fairly determined to try and build a game layer on top of the world. This is sort of a new concept and it's really ipnramtot, because while the last decade was the decade of social, the dacede where the framework in which we connect with other people was built, this next decade will be the decade where the game framework is built, where the motivations we use to actually influence bevhaior and the framework in which that is constructed, is decided upon, and that's really important.
