CNN and Across the Websphere: Press Coverage on Heritage Key Virtual Areas

It is one of our great challenge to push virtual areas out to mainstream audiences around the world. One day virtual online will be the interface to the web--but now it needs to find a good way to add value to sites and other media (read more about dead mice and the liberation of the net here). With our new Ancient World in London series and launch of Virtual Stonehenge areas we are starting to feel a little warm from the press and blogsphere! Thanks!

Check links below or just go to our virtual, online, 3D immersive areas and make your own great discoveries now on our opensource-based, opensim grid!

Recent coverage on Heritage Key and our King Tut Virtual area on CNN iDesk --> click to watch it here . It is a nice explanation of the main idea and enthusiasm from presenters is excellent!

(there is an sorta annoying pre-roll add that you can't skip and opens a new window if you touch it--future of monetization? Force feeding ads?)

Other recent press/blog coverage :

• BBC News: As an interactive community, Heritage Key also allows visitors to join lectures and meet with people from around the world to share and discuss their experiences.
