 Exclusive footage of a Bruce Willis interview in Second Life now online. The Second Life Cable Network (SLCN.TV -- http://slcn.tv), the Melbourne-based company that covered the media event, says the footage provides an insight into how 20th Century Fox is using Second Life to promote the next Die Hard movie.
Gary Wisniewski, Second Life Cable Network CEO said "SLCN made it possible for invited guests, including the executives at Fox, to be able to witness the action as it happened. SLCN is the HBO and CNN of virtual worlds." SLCN was started in March 2007 and has now established itself as the leading cable channel for Second Life residents.

The populations and economies of virtual worlds — online, ‘massively multi-user’ digital environments — are already larger than those of some nation states. They are also growing at an explosive rate. Academics currently specialising in the area suggest that the total, real-money value of transactions in the leading virtual worlds last year was more than $2bn (£1bn). And while analysts like Gartner have rightly played down some of the wilder predictions for virtual world economies, they still expect that 80% of active internet users (and Fortune 500 companies) will have a presence in Second Life by 2011.

LONDON, England (CNN) -- There's more to someone's identity than a social security number, passport photo and set of fingerprints but it's difficult to define exactly what else it is. Is it what the public sees or the inner self? Some would argue that virtual identity is a truer reflection of self than someone's image in the real world.
Photographer Robbie Cooper has studied the relationship between gamers' real and online identities, taking photographs of the two images for the book he co-authored, 'Alter Ego: Avatars and their creators'. Cooper fuses together real portraits and virtual images of dozens of gamers and investigated if people's digital representations in role-playing environments were an echo of their true selves.
