The Brands in Games blog is reporting (Link)<\/a> that a NYC ad agency, Anomaly<\/a>, beat the Leo Burnett prima donna’s into the Second Life<\/a> virtual world. That’s icing on the cake as far as I’m concerned (you’ll recall my earlier admonition – reLink<\/a>). Even better is that Anomaly didn’t broadband what they were doing, which suggests they have more humility than the clueless big boys (although from what I read on their website, the relatively new Anomaly is impressive in a number of ways).<\/p>\n

This of course has me wondering if reBang is the first “Industrial Design” firm inside Second Life (for the record, here’s the Patagonia beachfront prior to breaking virtual ground – reLink<\/a>)? I don’t know. It’s certainly possible someone tried, or is actively trying and I’m just unaware of their efforts. It’d be nice to hook up with them.<\/p>\n

I’m also wondering how many people – if any – are working toward transreality products; truly tying virtual product to real product in ways that start to get us Things like kirkyans<\/a>, stellayans<\/a>, and triblyans (I had to come up with a word for a Thing that could replicate without limit on both sides of the tangibility barrier; this seemed like a natural fit. If this is already defined somewhere, I’m still looking for the word defining it so feel free to post a note; there must be a science fiction novel with this thing in it).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
