Teleport to the CNET offices for our interview today
I’ve just read an interesting post on the CNET News.com Gaming blog. With the help of Millions of Us, CNET Networks now has a recreation of their corporate HQ in Second Life! The office looks nearly identical to the real one, but in Second Life they are on the water. Lucky bastards!

According to Daniel Terdiman’s blog post this SL CNET Networks office “will be used for a series of interviews with virtual-world luminaries, and as a forum for CNET News.com reporters to come and talk about stories they’ve written. Over time, however, CNET hopes the space can be used for CNET.com reviewers to talk about products they’ve tested, as well as for any number of multimedia projects, including the posting of CNET videos, meet-ups and other events.”
Steve Rubel thinks that other media companies will start doing the same. I think as the popularity of Second Life and other online worlds continue to increase, we’ll start to see all companies, not just media, wanting to build their presence there. I just hope the Starbucks and McDonalds don’t dominate the virtual world like they do ours!
