An example is: 7min for iOS has badges and achievements. You should look at the companies that Badgeville or someone similar has worked on. Amazon has the layer of highlighting and the percentage you've read and that can be gamified and sold to them. Watching TV shows and series has been gamified by apps like GetGlue. Civic participation is already being gamified. It's highly saturated.

Great and free. Thanks for this, I'm giving it a try. I was _this_ close to building something similar myself, glad I found a really good version already built. :)
What I'm wondering is if we could extract some positive gain from this. Maybe there's a way to gamify certain activities so that people could hook themselves on something positive. I know this has been done for certain types of exercise (I can't recall any webapps right now but a simple search for mobile apps should show a hundred or so.) I'm curious if it would work for such things as meditation, self-study, diet, social activity, etc.
I get the feeling there's a lot of research out there about gamification, but I wonder if there are any webapps out there allowing people to gamify <whatever> in their life so as to allow the person to more efficiently build positive habbits. If it hasn't been done, maybe this is a new market niche to be taken advantage of.
If anyone finds anything or is interested in potentially collaborating, let me know. I'll be looking into it myself in the meantime.
