Reuters Puts a Man in Cyberspace

Adam Pasick has been doing his thing, introducing himself to residents and interviewing entre-preneurs, yet when he finishes an interview he levitates for a moment, then flies over buildings.

You see, Pasick is Reuter's man in cyberspace. He's flying around Second Life, covering virgin territory for a reporter.

Pasick told the New York Times,

“The fact that it’s in a virtual world doesn’t change things as much as you’d think. It’s not any different than when Reuters opens up a bureau in a part of the world that has a fast-growing economy that we weren’t in before. The laws of supply and demand hold true, it has a currency exchange, people open businesses and get paid for goods and services.”

The Times also reported that Second Life's economy totaled  $7.1 million in user-to-user transactions.
