Submitted by Cadence Juran on Fri, 12/14/2007 - 16:30.Second Life, The Rookery Cay (85, 24, 22), Dec. 14, 2007 – Second Life entrepreneur Cadence Juran announces the initial public offering of MetaNetwork Media, Inc., the premier broadcasting and interactive media company of Second Life. The IPO will take place at the SL Capital Exchange beginning 11AM SLT, Saturday, Dec. 15.
“What if a company could take all the drama, excitement and achievements of the residents of Second Life, broadcast that information directly back to the public in a format that is engaging both in world and out of Second Life?" asked Juran, the chief executive officer of MetaNetwork Media. "Well I’m proud to announce that MetaNetwork Media will be the company to deliver such content directly to the consumer, the business owner and the shareholder," she said. “MetaNetwork Media will offer original broadcast news and entertainment that will dominate in Second Life and the rest of the metaverse.”
Taking the Multimedia Lead
“One of the differentiators for MetaNetwork Media (MNM) is that we will offer original programming that MNM will produce itself and make available via one of the most dynamic distribution networks in Second Life,” Juran explained. “MNM won’t be just a piece of the pie, MNM will be a vertically integrated operation starting with developing news and entertainment concepts, to filming and production, to distribution via an established gridwide network,” she said.
MNM is not only the shortened name of the company but also the ticker symbol on the SL Capital Exchange where its IPO shares are available for purchase.
MNM is made up of several divisions delivering news and entertainment within Second Life. The divisions include MetaNetwork News, MetaNetwork Radio and MetaNetwork Entertainment. The company will deliver both original programming and other popular content via its television, radio and Web site networks and on other Web 2.0 media platforms.
“At the IPO, we’ll show a special MNM sneak preview to investors and guests,” Juran announced. “This teaser will help communicate the potential that MNM offers to investors and to residents of Second Life. I can’t wait until they see the preview!”
According to Juran, the cornerstone of the network will be news programming carried via MNM. It will feature quality journalism leading to regular breaking and investigative news broadcasts integrated with advertising. “We’ll also have regular feature segments covering metaverse investing, building and technology as well as lifestyle and fashion,” she said.
The entertainment division will offer residents talk shows, game shows and soap operas along with action and drama series. The radio network will feature music channels and radio personalities to compliment radio news broadcasts.
“We expect to kick off MNM in mid-January with its initial programming,” Juran said. “We’ll also have a surprise or two to announce before then.”
