MR O SHOW #17 SUN JAN 7, 2007

TONIGHT…

I started on the questions about Virtual Worlds.  We asked for input on your top 5 questions for virtual worlds right now.

These questions will be brought to the http://www.virtualworldsig.com and given to the panel as a background.  This will be an ongoing theme for the next couple of weeks, and I expect to refine and add to the list. Here’s what we got so far.

Dedric Mauriac:
- What income opportunities are becoming available through virtual worlds?
- Have virtual worlds had any affect on freedom of speech in countries where that right does not exist?
- What abilities will emerge to integrate and cross between virtual worlds in the future, or merge of them in some way?
- Will virtual world online destinations be as ubiquitous as web pages as online destinations?
- How do minimum wage laws apply to contracting work through virutal worlds, and in what country are those laws recognized?
- Will it be standard that your operating system tie into a virtual world in the future?

HatHead Rickenbacker:
- How can we define virtual worlds?
- Taxation in virtual worlds.
- Will everyone have an avatar like they have an email address today?

Velvet Tornado:
- Are virtual worlds a possible platform for web browsing and/or as an operating system like windows — but in 3D?

Wurlitzer Seisenbacher:
- How will the growth of virtual worlds deal with “lag” and streaming/datablase issues that virtual worlds like Second Life encounter?

Overall, this is getting really interesting.  I think it’s significant stuff otherwise I wouldn’t be doing it.  We will add to this list, leading up to the SIG date of Jan. 22.  Seee you next time!

On Thursday we talked with DrFran Babcock about her work which involves podcasting, mental health issues, and increasingly, Virtual Worlds!! Very cool discussion and great to meet DrFan.  This type of interaction is only beginning, and SL is the place to watch.  We worked this discussion into lots of aspects of virtual worlds. 

Thanks to Dedric who invited DrFran on, his account is here:
