Some presidential candidates fly into the virtual world, others stay grounded
Comments: |
By Keith Koslowsky Second Life - Presidential candidate Mike Gravel has a Second Life avatar. Mike Huckabee doesn't know what it is. Mitt Romney points his resources elsewhere and John Edwards' blog says Republicans trashed his Second Life headquarters. Second Life is a virtual world that is similar to real life. A land owner can place restrictions but pretty much anything goes. Yes, you can run around in a Democratic candidate's land wearing a Republican t-shirt. For the most part, you don't have to wear anything at all. Two candidates (Dennis Kucinich and Gravel) have officially endorsed the online world. Four others, Ron Paul, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Edwards, have lands but they are run by candidate supporters, not the campaign. The supporters who have lands vary on the reason for creating them. Some want the media to know about their land, while others, have had too much limelight and want it to go away. |
