I maintain a blog at http://rooreynolds.com
A group of us in IBM co-author a group blog at http://eightbar.co.uk for the past couple of years we’ve posted whatever has been interesting to us. For 18 months it’s been mainly about virtual worlds.

They want to share content. They want to be part of the story, not just watch (or even control) a story. They are the creators too.

Please don’t think Second Life was empty before all the ‘real world’ brands and musicians entered though.

It was (and still is) full of ‘native’ talent.

Three examples:
- Keiko Takamura - http://www.keikotakamura.com/
- Jeremy Works (AKA Frogg Marlowe in Second Life) - http://www.froggmarlowe.com/
- Melanie Fudge (AKA Mel Cheeky in SL) - http://www1.melcheeky.com/

One night of gigs described at http://www.vtoreality.com/2007/review-keiko-takamura-frogg-marlowe-kim-seifert-bill-pam-havercamp-and-greg-colossus/352/

It was the sort of experience which, in real life, you might get once in a lifetime with an artist who just wants to party with the fans.” See http://rooreynolds.com/2006/10/20/ben-folds-gig-of-the-year/ for a review
