Are badges a MacGuffin?
A MacGuffin is "a plot element that catches the viewers' attention or drives the plot of a work of fiction". The defining aspect of a MacGuffin is that the major players in the story are (at least initially) willing to do and sacrifice almost anything to obtain it, regardless of what the MacGuffin actually is. In fact, the specific nature of the MacGuffin may be ambiguous, undefined, generic, left open to interpretation or otherwise completely unimportant to the plot. Common examples are money, victory, glory, survival, a source of power, or a potential threat, or it may simply be something entirely unexplained.
MacGuffins are sometimes referred to as plot coupons (especially if multiple ones are required) as the protagonist only needs to "collect enough plot coupons and trade them in for a dénouement".
Maybe we’re looking at this the wrong way. Maybe the payoff isn’t what we think it is.
We’ve seen this before. As marketers, we must always be prepared to evolve the way we think.
Web 1.0 = publishing
Web 2.0 = platforms where consumers publish
Web 3.0 = platforms that publish to other platforms

to get to web 3.0, publishers are giving way to platforms

The value of impressions is reaching a low point for marketers.
low click rates
endless inventory/lack of scarcity
So if inventory isn’t scarce, or effective, what is?
Attention.
And that is LBS’s great promise.
We used to have to distract through ads that we hoped we ran at the right frequency adjacent to content or search results that we believe made someone more likely to make a purchase.
But now, with the location data that we have access to, we have better ways to do it.
In fact, now that mobile phones have reached the smart point that they have, we can use digital media to move people physically -- and the same people that helped Google grow (local businesses -- and any business with a location) have even more to gain.
How do you capture and hold consumers’ attention?
relationships through clearly defined value propositions
timeliness and appropriateness

reward things other than purchases -- like influence (eg. broadcasting of the check-in)
