Content Inside: EDMONTON JOURNAL Virtual property for real dollars Analyst doubts experiment can succeed David Finlayson, The Edmonton Journal Published: Friday, May 18, 2007 EDMONTON - Meet the new premier of Alberta and B.C. -- Gela Chisholm of St. Albert. She bought both provinces on weblo.com, the new virtual world thats sort of Monopoly for real money. So why would a single parent and bookkeeper who freely admits shes technology challenged invest $10,000 in a scheme where no real property actually changes hands? "I was looking for something different to invest in and my son Preston came across Weblo when he was on his computer. "I have to look after myself and my financial adviser told me to diversify, and it sounded intriguing." Montreal-based Weblo, which launched its virtual world last September, essentially sells web pages representing states, provinces, cities, and buildings in the real world. You can also "buy" celebrities, airports and corporate domains.
