Gaming and Web Design Can Learn from Each Other

Raph Koster has an interesting write up on what he thinks web designers could learn from game designers and vice versa.  There is so much development going on in both realms that the discussion seems quite useful to me.  Highlights include:

Koster says web designers could learn from games that some of the most important features of a successful design are interface, pre-seeded content and identity.

Game designers could learn from the Web 2.0 space about the importance of APIs, simplicity and much more.

There's good dialogue in the comments after Koster's post, too.
