LoveMachine Collaboration: Can 10,000 Inches Become A Person?

OK, so I don’t know if 10,000 inches can become a person, but I’m modifying that from LoveMachine Inc’s provocative self-description:

Right now we have three projects, in different areas and stages of development:

Work. Software for companies to work better and faster.
Money. A digital replacement for world currencies.
The Brain. Can 10,000 computers become a person?

LoveMachine is a new project run by friends Philip Rosedale, creator of Second Life, and Ryan Downe, creator at Second Life. I got a call from them last night asking if I was at SXSW to come hang out. (Nope, though I hear the Detroit Ice Potato may be making an appearance during the music portion, looking for an album deal…) We did catch up though about doing something together. I love LoveMachine’s live workroom and list of instant jobs that are constantly available for anyone to do on their site.

Those are both things we need on LOVELAND’s new site. It’s just a better way for us to keep things transparent and invite collaboration and build a creative army like we want to but can’t using traditional methods. I’m writing this post to make sure we hook that up together, and whatever else the machine has cooking that the land could use (virtual currency etc). Plus they need to come to come visit us in Detroit!

Isn’t this great? Again from their site:

We are also a different kind of company. Instead of interviewing to work here, you just get to work. If you’d like to join our team, first sign up at the worklist, where you can see and bid on the jobs we need done, then enter our live workroom and talk to other team members!
