Stevie Case to present on Metanomics.net

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

fatfoogoo’s Stevie Case will be joined by Jay Geesman of Xstreet to present ‘Monetizing the Metaverse’ – a talk about their business experiences in Second Life and other Virtual Worlds.  Professor Robert Bloomfield, Director of the Business Simulation Laboratory at Cornell University, will moderate the show.

Stevie will be going live this coming Monday, October 13th at 12 noon PST.  The show may be seen either within the Second Life virtual world in the Metanomicsregion at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Metanomics/129/174/40, or directly on metanomics site at http://www.metanomics.net/WatchNow.

Stevie is expected to discuss primary markets in which publishers sell directly to players, and secondary markets where players sell to other players.  She’ll also be talking about fatfoogoo’s unique white lable solution that can handle any type of microtransaction for publishers, including time to integration.  Stevie will also give viewers a rundown of fatfoogoo’s partnership program with Sun’s Project Darkstar, with a focus on Call of Kings.  Last but not least, a previous episode of Metanomics struck a chord with views, and Ms. Case will be addressing a “universal avatar” whereby users can more from virtual world to virtual world seamlessly without the need for separate registrations and release of personal information with each new virtual world the visit.

With over 50 one hour long programs dedicated to virtual world economies, metanomics is a storehouse of information coming directly from the industry experts.  Focusing mainly on economic and business situations and scenarios present in virtual worlds such as Second Life and There, Metanomics aims to understand and provide a better insight as to how residents of these virtual worlds establish, manage, and operate their virtual businesses.  Conversely, the show also looks at real world businesses and non-profits and how they interact with the growing virtual world and economy(ies).
