Fight for Kisses
Doc pointed me to a very clever Wilkinson advertisement using avatars for actors. I understand that creating advertisements in virtual worlds is much less expensive than hiring a sound stage and actors. Virtuality is beginning to become mainstream. Video courtesy of DailyMotion.

Avatar Airplane in Google Maps
Bruce Sterling pointed to this nifty mashup of Google Maps and a flight simulator, called Googles.
When you click start, it will put you in an airplane over my home cul-de-sac. See if you can crash into my back yard!
It is just a short time before we see a massively multiplayer humanoid avatars in Google Earth. Then the line between real and virtual really gets blurry.

Social Network of Science
John Batelle points to an interesting map of science at Seed. It is a social network based on 800,000 scientific publication sorted into 776 groups. I want to know who read all those articles. But more than that, I want to print a copy out on the big plotter at work.
