On Cnn.com frontpage today.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/11/13/second.life.university/index.html

Also Adam Reuters reported a big brother show coming and giving away a sim...

Where are these places? Are they accessed by the general public?

This is totally gonna change the atmosphere (Big Brother I mean), I think... even worse than Toyota and American Apparel.

You can find the sim by licking on the link on their website:

I emailed the Endemol about a week ago asking quite a few questions about the logistics, but I am yet to get a reply. I won't hold my breath heh.

EnDeMol flooded german television with a vast load of crappy programs in the mid nineties up to now. The Sister of the companies founder John de Mol, Linda de Mol, even was one of germanies most beloved show hosts for a while (german viewers always had a thing for tv show hosts from the netherlands ;))

Nvvertheless: Nothing good ever came out of EnDeMol, and Big Brother is as it stands now, rock bottom of tv entertainment.

The fact that Big Brother now might come to SL, although I still have the choice not to care about it, together with the fact that Axel Springer, a huge german Publisher, who publishes german tabloid BILD, the lowest form of journalism there is in germany, is planning to do some kind of weekly SL tabloid, together with the still unclear situation with the copybot tool...that makes me question where SL is heading indeed.

Ugh. SL becoming a place for bottom feeders to act like they are cool. Sounds like fun.

I guarantee SL Big Brother will be cancelled because of the copybot... just as everyone else's plans for everything in SL.

Any griefer should show up to SL big brother, copy avatars, objects, and confuse the hell out of everything.

Now that copybot has his the LL streets, EVERYONE... the regular SL user, the SL businesses, the RL corporations, everything, everyone is going to pull the plug on their projects.
