CNN

In case you missed it on the 14th (see previous article), the entire show is available through the website here (in the box labelled Virtual Worlds). The above clip is of Sang-Min Whang, Nick Yee, Philip Rosedale.

I highly recommend checking it out. It gives a much broader perspective of what we're talking about in the first place when we're discussing building a Metaverse, and what's happening to the people behind the keyboard.

If you want to see it on TV, here are the upcoming air dates:

(All times GMT)
Saturday June 16 6:00, 14:00, 19:00;
Sunday June 17 6:00, 19:00;
Wednesday June 20 14:00

On June 13 the CNN Future Summit: Virtual Worlds will be broadcast on CNN International. Originating from Singapore and Palo Alto, California, the program will feature a panel of artists and executives "forging the new frontiers of cyberspace".

The panel itself is comprised of nothing but the elite of the industry. Among the ten members listed are Philip Rosedale (Founder and CEO, Linden Lab), Jimmy Wales (Founder, Wikipedia) and Nick Yee (The Daedalus Project). Names like Richard Bartle, Raph Koster, Jane McGonigal and Bill Turpin join the list of fifteen A-listers offering additional contributions.

CNN has absolutely outdone itself. This even beats the speaker list of the 2007 Virtual Worlds Conference. Don't forget to tune in June 13 for this landmark television event.
