    BBC Simulcasts in Second Life


    This Friday the BBC 2 will be broadcasting, for the first time ever, a full-length program that will air simultaneously on television as well as in Second Life. The show, "The Money Programme", is the BBC's flagship business affairs program that focuses on how big business affects everyones' everyday life.

    This week's show will focus on, what else, the emergence of the virtual economy. Some of the topics include the growth of virtual worlds, the issues involving gold-farming, and a look into virtual crime. One of the show's guests will be Philip Rosedale, the creator of Second Life.

    As far as when it airs, both real and fake people can watch it this Friday, June 1 at 7:00 pm GMT, but the fake people have to watch it at the Rivers Run Red Cinema in Second Life. Hopefully in SL, they won't play the commercials too. Kim Phu
