Social Gaming in China
Here's a great presentation from James Gwertzman,  PopCap's Asia/Pacific VP.  James has lead PopCap's Shanghai office for over 2 years and shares his take on the opportunities and challenges presented by the Chinese market.

Metagame Design
Here Amy Jo Kim discusses how to apply game design principles outside of games. These principles can apply to reward systems that wrap around a game or to basic website design.
