Wheel Of Whyville!
Posted by anastasia on 10-31-2007The folks at Whyville just informed me that "Wheel of Fortune" host Pat Sajak has become an investor and strategic partner in the site. Who knew Pat was so wired? From their press release (sorry it's not online yet!):
Pat Sajak, Emmy award winning host of Sony Television's Wheel of Fortune, has become an investor and strategic partner in "virtual world creator" Numedeon, Inc. which owns and operates Whyville.net and several other virtual world properties. Sajak's investment makes him a significant shareholder in the corporation.
"As someone deeply involved in traditional broadcast media, I am aware of the challenges and opportunities provided by interactive media," says Mr. Pat Sajak. "I believe that Numedeon, a pioneer in virtual world technology, is strategically placed to transform the way children and adults interact digitally."
P.S. The humane society is also launching its own space inside the virtual world There.com. (MediaPost, reg. required)
