Lots of things happening in the numerous virtual worlds around the globe... Here are just a couple of links I recently found interesting:

• Weblo.com: a couple of American virtual investors have bought the virtual country of England. Now this might sound a bit far out but according to the article in DM Europe; "England's virtual rulers will earn residual income from their purchase. They earn money every time an English city or property is purchased and from all transactions and ad revenue in England. They can also sell the country for a profit."

• Eolus One: now this is a very strong idea - create an environment where virtual worlds are used to interact with the real world and by doing so make our little planet (and our lives) better. The post I found is lengthy but gives a very good description of what this is all about. To me this is the (possible) future of the web as we know it. Thanks to my colleague Erik Reese.

• Codestation: for the more technology inclined amongst my reader; if you really would like to get your hands dirty in code, please check out the challenge in Second Life. The solve a security puzzle by developing and scripting code. You can win a custom designed car made by The Electric Sheep. (Am I still sounding sane...?)

New: thanks to Philip Weiss from ZN I just started using Facebook and found it quite interesting, fun and productive. so if you're on there as well and want to connect, visit me there and let's hook up.

Could be I will be featuring a bit more about virtual worlds in my future postings because this is now one of my focus areas of my day job... However, I promise to stay focused on PR/Media related topics. If not, let me know !
