Reuters and C|Net in Second Life

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday October 16, 2006 @05:09AM from the where-no-journo-has-gone-before dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Reuters is opening a news bureau in the simulation game Second Life, and C|Net is following suit. Both companies are joining a race by corporate name brands to take part in the hottest virtual world on the Internet. Starting on Wednesday, Reuters plans to begin publishing text, photo and video news from the outside world for Second Life members and news of Second Life for real world readers who visit a Reuters news site at: http://secondlife.reuters.com/"

I'm still waiting for the in game Radio Shack salespeople that follow you around for hours while you play asking if they can help you find what you're looking for. I'm sure advertising will go absolutely crazy in the game soon so it's really not that far from possible.
