REA Group on the way into SL

Jana Gillespie, director of Big-Bit Australia Pty Ltd has let us know that the REA Group, best known for its site realestate.com.au, has signed on for an SL presence. There’s nothing to see at this stage but the island is present in search and is called ‘Real Estate Life’:

The presence will represent the group’s worldwide operations and contain a community area with events and seminars planned. It’ll be interesting to see if they decide to get into virtual real estate. Will Anshe Chung and the other large land barons end up having another big player in the arena? It’d make for an even more interesting market.
