Socialtype™ Launches Gaming Player Acquisition and Rewards Platform across ...
Sacramento Bee
As of today, Socialtype already has fourteen properties rolling out their own customized versions of Bamboo on multiple social networks, the first of which will be MindArk's highly successful MMORPG Entropia Universe. David Simmonds, MindArk's CEO said, "Entropia lives on the web. It's not designed as a Facebook game, so the ability for us to have a living, breathing presence on Facebook, using our Bamboo app, is exciting for us. We think our players can and will market us better than anyone else through the app."

I guess it's a good thing, but hard to tell what the application do....

Maybe we can get more information on how its going to work. Do we already have the interaction with Twitter and Facebook when it posts globals, achievements, missions?

Or is it going to be where we approve MA to make posts on our accounts and we get spammed with advertisements?

The SocialType platform will host a Facebook app custom-made for Entropia Universe that will make it easy for players to promote Entropia to their friends and other Facebook contacts.

The app will keep track of each player's promotional activity, and allow them to accumulate points that can be redeemed for items within Entropia Universe. Players will have complete control over the type and amount of promotional material they wish to share with their contacts.

What I'm basically asking is will people who dont like FB and that thing be at a disadvantage in this real cash economy service.
