Dogear-Nation - Episode 25 - In Virtual Worlds - Anyone can be a Dog

Michael Martine and Michael Rowe welcome Dave Kamalsky IBM’s Virtual Universe Community’s former Guild Master this week. Michael and Dave were together in beautiful Dublin, Ireland, while Michael Martine joins from North Carolina. In honor of the misty weather in Dublin, and thanks to Mikael Haglund’s wonder tags, we review multi-media and internet umbrellas. The guys also ask the question about personal space and privacy, and how Chinese MMO laws are going to expose who’s behind the keyboard - or at least their sex. Remember in Virtual Worlds - anyone can be a Dog.
