CNN opens bureau in Second Life
Cory Bergman October 31st, 2007
Reuters did this a long time ago, and now CNN is opening a bureau and a bunch of kiosks in Second Life in an effort to solicit more user content for iReport. Just about everyone I know who created an avatar on Second Life have moved on, but I think virtual spaces have tremendous merit as the technology improves — especially if merged with Facebook or an Xbox Live environment.

Should have started in WoW.

If Second Life didn’t require an expensive graphics card to use, they’d have a substantial set of users - not high-end, lots-of-disposable-income users, but eyeballs of use to the corporate presences there.
@Gorman: maybe they could hire 15-year-old “reporters” and “embed” them in WoW or Halo teams.

Gaaah! I hate when that double (now triple) posts thing does that to me.

I hate when people post links to their own blogs in other peoples’ blogs.

Yeah, don’t you hate it when people try and do any kind of marketing?
