Stowe Boyd looks at Joe Edelman's nascent Ground Crew project. Groundcrew is web/mobile software that gathers people instantaneously in real life to work on projects, and allows for complex mobile-coordination of real-life communities and tasks. Community members can see who's available to pitch in at any moment and can rapidly communicate assignments--either mass assignments or systems of individual assignments--to help people work together for a greater good. Using Real Time Market-s to encourage AdHoc Real World Collaboration, hoping to speed toward a Network Economy.
