Uck, I totally forgot to post this during the dying-powabook fracas: MTV have launched (using There.com technology) a virtual version of their teen soap Laguna Beach.
“You can not only watch TV, but now you can actually live it,” Van Toffler, the president of the MTV Networks Music, Film and Logo Group, said in an interview.
They won't be the last, I'm sure. MTV is also planning on launching a further two virtual worlds:
Of the two other virtual worlds planned, VMTV is a music destination where visitors can club-hop among hip neighborhoods, buy music, watch videos, sing karaoke or even start their own bands. The third virtual destination, LogoWorld, an offshoot of Logo, the gay and lesbian cable channel, will be designed entirely by its participants.
Good on them for moving so swiftly and surely.
"The third virtual destination, LogoWorld, an offshoot of Logo, the gay and lesbian cable channel, will be designed entirely by its participants."
It's a Liberace/Greenham Common mashup!
