Season One Ends with a Bang--and the Metanomics Colbert Challenge. "Best of Metanomics" runs until we start Season Two in June.
We closed out our first season of Metanomics this Monday. After 35 shows in 35 weeks, we are going to take a short break to prepare for Season Two. In the meantime, we will be running "best of" shows on Mondays and Tuesdays, drawing the most interesting clips from more than 50 fascinating guests.
On Monday, May 5 at 11 AM:
Gene Yoon, VP of Business Affairs and architect of the Second Life Economy, provides his view of inworld commerce. Can you figure out which part of the interview made a Danish investment banker want to cry?And then on Tuesday, May 6, 3 PM SLT:
Find out the answer in Metanomics Rewind, when we see the followup panel discussion, Virtual Finance and the Reality of the Linden Dollar, with with inworld financiers Arbitrage Wise and IntLibber Brautigan, Saxo Bank’s Jillian Falconi and David Karsbol, and journalist Gigs Taggart.
We ended the seasons with two great guests (Susan Tenby from Tech Soup and Randal Moss from American Cancer Society), a clip of Cybergrrl Oh reporting on location about RacerX Gullwing's contributions to Relay for Life, a very special guest in the audience (my mother--hi Mom!), and a challenge to Stephen Colbert.
The Metanomics Colbert Challenge
SLCN has outdone itself, wrapping that segment up into the Metanomics Colbert Challenge in the form of a youtube video. Pass it on to your friends...or to Stephen, if you know him.
