Actually, people are starting to make a professional rep via their Second LIfe avatars. Zero LInden, for instance, is better known as Zero Linden, than his real life name, even though he's been a programmer longer than I have, and done some significant projects under that persona. Glitteratica Cookie got mention on the Daily Show because of her avatar's name, not her job description, even though it was serious enough that she was invited to testify in a Congressional hearing about virtual worlds. Etc. Lawson
