Lots of coverage this week about the Second Life land baron Anshe Chung. Mainstream press article in Business Week (and cover image), with blog posts at Terra Nova, and We-Make-Money-Not-Art. Nothing too terribly exciting about this, although greater mainstream coverage is always a good thing. If I were a grad student in economics I would seriously consider studying SL as it grows.
I'm waiting for the day when we have an Enron or MCI type scandal in a virtual economy that wipes out people's pension plans, 401Ks, and results in a trial (in the real world or the virtual?), and somebody makes a movie about it. Then the government steps in and regulates the entire thing so that it grinds to a halt.
Get on board now before that happens!
