LoveMachine's Crowd-Sourcing Tool Launching in August, Says Company "Interim CEO"

I just stepped into Cafe Ponte in Noe Valley where I often do my writing (try the mac n' cheese with bacon, srsly), and stumbled into the "interim CEO" (so to speak) of LoveMachine, the new start-up Philip Rosedale founded last year. Meet Ryan Downe, a fellow Linden alum from back in the day and LoveMachine's co-founder, who's captaining the company while Philip's busy back running Linden Lab. Ryan told me Philip's still actively involved in LoveMachine when he can spare the time away from Linden. As a mini-scoop, he told me the crowdsourced employee reviewing software the company's named after will be launching next month. The Love Machine code was first developed for Linden Lab staff, and is still in operation there, and now MMO company Outspark and Kevin Rose's Digg already use the new version of LoveMachine, currently in Alpha.

Metaverse Mod Squad has been using the Alpha version since December. Highly recommend.

Would that be the Ryan Linden whose builds are still scattered around the oldest parts of the grid - including this one?

Very likely, Lalo! Ryan Downe was Ryan Linden.
