Coffee andPower,

CoffeeandPower, the latest project from Second Life co-founder Philip Rosedale has launched in test-mode in the San Francisco area. The service describes itself as a "sort of live version of Craigslist."
There have been a number of startups take aim at Craiglist as of late. That's no surprise, really. The UI is wretched, there's no social sharing component, and there's no mobile Website and no mobile app. There's definitely room for disruption here, right?
That's what CoffeeandPower hopes to do with its open-ended, online marketplace. The site lets you buy and sell small goods and services from others, based on your geolocation. CoffeeandPower calls these "missions" and lets you post on the site something you want or something you're willing to do. So far, missions on the site including an offer to teach you how to run barefoot and an offer (from Philip Rosedale himself) to give some startup advice.
