online football - as a collaborative act.
Massively Multiplayer Online Soccer: The Ultimate User Generated Content? is a rather nifty Russell Beattie riff on multiplayer gaming...
"But the part of the review that really caught my eye was this bit about the ability of XBox Live members to watch other races:
It may sound silly to think that a stranger would want to watch you play a video game, but after hopping onto Gotham TV through the game I was a believer. You can switch between any of the cars racing and a multitude of camera angles. The game supports up to 30,000 spectators per a race, so you can bet Microsoft is a believer too.
....What I can’t figure out is why despite the massive popularity of soccer around the world, we haven’t seen online multiplayer soccer take off..."
Lovely idea...I wonder whether there are player who teach new players for cash - on other games as well - live voice connection, real-time coaching...actually, I think I saw this in SecondLife...certainly people were flogging stuff (clothing etc.). The coaching seems altruistic.
However, what if I could teach you stuff that makes revenue? Maybe I could set up a college and run lectures? Just like the real world! :-) Why not, people already operate as property developers
