I move they be called the “Worlds That Fly” awards

Posted on May 19, 2007 by Scott Jennings| 5 Comments

Two relentless self-promoters manage to get an entire CNN.com story.

The academy will accept nominations on its Web site for categories like “Best Virtual World,” “Best Virtual Fashion Designer” and “Most Dynamic Virtual Economy.”

The winners will be announced in February and will receive virtual statues at “live” ceremonies in “Second Life” and “Entropia Universe.”

I remember when virtual worlds meant something else entirely.

    Actually, Anshe Chung has 60 ‘full-time employees’.. Which I’m sure has to be the most boring MMO meta-game ever.

    Does CNN also take web awards seriously, too? I mean the ones hosted on geocities or similar. They’re just as credible to the internet as whoever those guys are to virtual worlds.

    The guys on geocities don’t send out

    press releases    .

    Keep in mind, Freakazoid, that most mainstream media has all but legitimized SL as a real online MMO type thingy so they have to keep that illusion going and by saying “ZOMG awards!” they do just that.
