We presented our virtual economy analytics as a part of the Facebook garage on Analytics. Here are the slides.

You can also browse them on Slideshare.

In brief: Social Gold platform can help create vibrant virtual economies, in large part due to the detailed, insightful and actionable analytics. Specifically, you can get insights into inflation, determine whether to increase prices (or if the market in your economy is automatically increasing the prices), figure out the right pricing of your virtual goods, and most importantly decipher the items that drive your revenue.

We are always looking for comments, suggestions, feedback — email us at business -at- jambool.com.

People who’ve followed our progress as a company know this well, but nevertheless, we would like to formally also announce this on our own blog.

For the past several months, we’ve focused completely on building the platform that can power virtual economies online. We released our first payments only product in October 2008, and have made huge progress since then.

Today, we have several great partners who use our platform to build and manage their virtual economies. We process payments directly from credit cards in 100+ countries, and also enable payments from Paypal, Amazon, Google and mobile phones.

Social Gold is a leader in this space despite our short history. We have a great team, and a great line up of products and features coming up for release through this year.

Looking forward to an exciting and fun 2009!
