Virtual Worlds Forum

A concert in Denver was recently "simulcast" in real life, Second Life and on the Web. Not that unusual. What is interesting is that these are just local bands in Denver. You probably haven't heard of them ( "Bad Weather California", Born in the Flood" and "Meese"). As the Washington Post says:

Taken together it's an attempt to merge the three platforms -- live, Internet and virtual world -- into one common experience. Why? Because with CD sales falling like a rock and digital revenue not yet making up the difference, live events could be the music "product" of the future, sparking a flurry of innovation around ways to profit from it.
