How Will You Shape The Internet?

Pmogit’s not something you have to answer right away because some clever people have designed a game that will tell you.  the game is a Passive Multiplayer Online Game (as opposed to a MMOG) and once you’ve signed up it will use your internet browsing habits to define what kind of internet user you are.  plus you get points, cool stuff, and can play additional games.

there’s a neat video that explains the concept here.  the Game has been developed by Duncan Gough, and I was pointed in it’s direction by the lovely Tom at 3rd Sense.  you can sign up for the game here.  do it.  just be careful which websites you visit!

…who has become Second Life’s first virtual millionaire.  how?  by developing – according to the wiki entry – an "online business that engages in development, brokerage and arbitrage of virtual land, items and currencies"

no, I’m not quite sure what it all means either.  but with Linden dollars able to be swapped for real world money, I’m pretty sure it does mean that I’d better get my virtual entrepreneurial head on, and fast!  Anshe Chung, we salute you.
