To correct the facts, I was dropped from a number 25 listing because I choose as an individual to tweet under an alter ego with all social media linked to my personal email address. I have no idea which account was considered a business apart from the fact that I have highly targeted social media sharing activities and find it is damaging to my reputation to be dropped in such a way and to be made look like a fool in a listing with companies where it is clear I am a person. This whole ordeal and rather sudden change of policy without notification to me, makes me question the objectivity and validity of such a board. It also makes me wonder whether social media is the true measure of gamification expertise or a mere reflection of social media savvy? For me personally it is a marketing tool, but successful projects with happy clients are a true measure of gamification expertise.

Hi An,

Thanks for the comment. I just want to clarify a few things.

First, you are definitely included in all of the above charts and findings. I checked our research, and you're there. In the "Notes" section, it says that we dropped a company account, but that was a separate account (not yours), that wasn't linked to any individual.

Second, I just wanted to state we're a separate company from Leaderboarded, so I can't comment on any of their decisions or policies. We based this research off their February list, but don't have any say as to their methodology or who they include.

I hope that helps clear things up.
