And that is the crux of SL. We do it for us. It may be complex, but it is that simple. The rest follows. <br />
Good luck Philip with this new venture:)and ty Hamlet for posting this interview.</p>Hamlet Au commented on 'Can Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale Transform the Way We Work in Our First Life?

C&P is almost exclusively C2C, and half the tasks are real world. But as Philip acknowledged at the top of the interview, there are other startups working in this space.</p>Rae commented on 'Can Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale Transform the Way We Work in Our First Life?

<p>Coffee & Power will work when you can get doctors, lawyers, landlords, grocers, professors and other providers of goods and services to work for coffee bucks... at rates of compensation set by the consumers. That's the missing balance in the Power equation.</p>Dizzy Banjo commented on 'Can Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale Transform the Way We Work in Our First Life?

Feels a bit too similar to a micro version of eLance.com and other services for comfort. I'm a bit unclear what C&P's business model is - do they take a cut of transactions?</p>
<p>I like the movement of micro job / payments concepts from SL over RL. However, those concepts were there in RL before they were in SL.. in different forms, I guess this is a particular way of facilitating them.</p>
<p>Saying all that - it looks like Philip and Ryan are doing some creative new product thinking and creating something that really relates to todays market place, considering all the things going on in tech now. Maybe this could be where we look for innovation from the 'ex SL gang'.. ;) </p>Ignatius Onomatopoeia commented on 'Can Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale Transform the Way We Work in Our First Life?

Bruce Sterling noted, long ago, that in the Regan Era we moved into a New Victorian social order, with vast gaps between the movers and shakers and those they shake (down, generally).</p>
<p>Philip is an optimist, and that's always a delight (I want to believe!) but it's not the whole story. If our downturn in epochal, then we may want to pair Philip's predictions with Peak-Oil and New-Urbanist writer James Howard Kunstler:</p>
<p>"We're leaving behind [our old] kind of economy, with secure salaried plug-in positions provided by giant corporations and governments. We're headed into a world not of 'jobs' but of vocations, trades, crafts, situations, and a lot of casual labor, largely self-guided by those with who possess a functioning internal compass."</p>
<p>Difference? Without enough fossil fuels to run our suburban Consumerama as-is, we'll be living like our grandparents did in 1930 in 2030. We may be connecting to our day-labor in new ways, but I agree with Kunstler's view, not Philip's, that it won't be a utopia.</p>

<p>This depression is permanent. It makes money for those who managed to climb into the elite.</p>
<p>Slave labor makes them super rich.</p>
<p>Nothing will change until we make change by standing up to them.</p>
<p>What this man is offering all and sundry are pipe dreams. Its a delusion of jobs, our real work, our real blood, sweat and tears for a useless FUNNY MONEY MONOPOLY MONEY. That may or may not be worth real currency (more likely NOT). WAKE UP ALL!</p>bongo commented on 'Can Second Life Founder Philip Rosedale Transform the Way We Work in Our First Life?
