Politics goes MMO

I realise that British politicians were one of the first politicians in the world to embrace the use of blogs to reach new audiences. Just look at the number of Labour and Tory MP bloggers (a Lib-Dem MP beats them to the punch by being the first British MP to blog) around, all thanks to Manic.

But this is just freaking cool. Mark Warner, a possible future American president decides not to view video games as a scape-goat for once, instead, embracing it as a platform, via MMO Second Life. Talk about being more in touch than even David Cameron.



If only a vicious MP would have the courage to do something similar here. Virtual heckling anyone? I can't wait!
