The weekly Metanomics show has been on a 35 week sprint marathon, with live shows each of the last 35 weeks, and is taking a breather in May.. but there are still things you can tune into. Every Monday and Tuesday, they will be showing rebroadcasts of the top interviews and as a live audience, you can tune in and discuss the topics with other people.

Monday May 5, 2008, 11am PST: Gene Yoon, VP of Business Affairs and architect of the Second Life Economy, provides his view of inworld commerce. Can you figure out which part of the interview made a Danish investment banker want to cry?

• When: Monday, May 5 at 11:00am PST (check local time)
• Where: Amphitheater on Outreach (87, 125, 34) (no group membership is required to teleport)

Tuesday May 6, 2008, 3pm PST: Find out the answer to which part of the interview made a Danish investment banker want to cry in Metanomics Rewind, when we see the followup panel discussion, Virtual Finance and the Reality of the Linden Dollar, with with inworld financiers Arbitrage Wise and IntLibber Brautigan, Saxo Bank’s Jillian Falconi and David Karsbol, and journalist Gigs Taggart.
