IBM virtual strike goes ahead in Sadville

Angles. 

I can't believe that no one has asked what the [IT,Paris Hilton,iPhone] angle is yet. And no, Sadville doesn't count as the IT angle.

The real surprise 

is that it wasn't the French who first went on strike in Sadville.

Re: Angles 

You... You do know who IBM are, right?

Of course there's an IT angle 

Even it if wasn't IBM involved, it would still have an IT angle.

Social change driven by online communities (such as Facebook groups influencing some things, most recently) is both a social and IT issue, and needs reporting in both IT and sociology publications.

This is good if... 

- You don't think IBM software / hardware is expensive enoug as it is

- You wan to tell your grand children that you also went to strike once

- You don't want to let the Koreans be the first to do a real strike in Sadville

- You work for an IBM competitor

Another thing missing 

Insert inevitable rant about how it's not Sadville but Second Life, as if we cared.

There's a union in Italy called EMF? 

Unbelievable!
