Just saw this on Cnet. Basically, a short lived MMORPG is being used to discuss possible solutions to food and energy shortages, massive disease outbreaks, and major social problems such as refugees. At first glance, it looks like http://folding.stanford.edu/, but using actual people to find answers instead of computers.
Basically, a problem is posited, and lots and lots of people put together proposals on how to deal with the problem.
Kind of like my staff meetings, but in this instance, something interesting is coming out of it.
