There was also an article in The Economist on the virtual epidemiology research conducted in the synthetic worlds of Second Life and World of Warcraft. I barely have a moment’s internet time to sign up for Facebook let alone check out the allure of these communities. Meanwhile the IRS is exploring tax opportunities in these economies. And Reuters even has bureau chiefs there.

Wow.
