Versu Has Now Left the Building!

Published on Sunday, October 15th, 2006 by Reuben

She’s done! With a little help from her friends, she built 2 blocks of New York, the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Yellow Cabs, the list goes on and on. Now for some sleep. Thanks go out to everyone who watched, cheered, supported and otherwise made this the incredible experience it was — without you all it wouldn’t have been possible. Special thanks to Netro our streaming video providers who held our backs when traffic exploded on Friday, to Philip and the amazing folks at Liquid Agency who produced and ran the event, to Rohit Bhargava of OgilvyOne PR who brought us into the mix, the folks at Datavision for hosting it and of course, to Intel.

This is very exciting . . . . you can watch ongoing coverage via 2 live video streams here.

Feels a little like the moments right before a Space Shuttle Launch. Over the next 3 days, we will be uploading audio blogs and time lapse films of the build every few hours right here, so stay tuned. Also, we’ll be on Rocketboom Friday!

Worlds Are Colliding. . . .Millions of Us to Launch Project for Intel

Published on Tuesday, October 10th, 2006 by Chris

On Thursday morning at 8 AM Eastern, Millions of Us employee Versu Richelieu will be entering a store window at Datavision in New York at 39th Street and 5th Ave.

For the next 72 hours, armed with nothing more than a blazing fast laptop with the Intel Duo Processor processor and a potentially unlimited supply of gummy bears, she’ll be conducting an experiment in high-speed building and virtual living. Versu will use the web to order her food and anything else she needs to help her recreate in a virtual world the surrounding blocks of New York.

You can watch her build live via real life and Second Life video starting at 8 am Thursday here.

Come out and support her in person or IM her with encouragement in-world.
