Talib Kweli to Appear in Second Life for a Fan Meet
A while back we launched a Brooklyn Brownstone for Warner Brothers Records’ artist Talib Kweli.¬† It was really cool, but we all wondered when the man would be stopping by for a visit.¬† Well the answer is. . . . tomorrow, at 1 PM, SLT/PST.¬† It’s very casual, just a fan meet and Q & A and hopefully will be a cool way for fans to connect with the artist.¬† Here’s a slurl to the event.¬† Here’s the announcement on Talib’s Myspace page.¬† I’ve predicted that by the end of 2007, avatars will be as much a requirement for celebs as Myspace pages are today.¬† All these early experiments are so interesting.¬† My feeling is that these things work best in SL when there’s less fanfare and it becomes more about hanging out and less about screaming adulation.¬† We’ll have to see.

“My feeling is that these things work best in SL when there‚Äôs less fanfare and it becomes more about hanging out and less about screaming adulation. ”
I agree with you Reuben. SL allows a celeb to chill and have fun with fans like a normal human being, without having to worry about safety concerns. They can come down from the stage, break through the “performer vs audience” barrier, and have some fun. I hope Talib has a blast.
