IBM Metaverse Evangelist Roo Reynolds Hired by BBC

IBM's Metaverse Evangelist Roo Reynolds is heading to the BBC to serve as  Portfolio Executive, Social Media, where, according to Reynolds' blog, he'll be "helping to define, develop and execute BBC Vision’s strategy in relation to social media." It seems like Reynolds will have plenty to do as a part of the push for the BBC to go multiplatform,  and the news comes the same day that the BBC announced that former Microsoft executive Erik Huggers had been appointed Director of BBC Future Media & Technology, to lead the revamp.

"I’ve worked with some great people and on some great projects, and it’s good to be leaving on a high," blogged Reynolds. "I don’t regret anything about my time at IBM, and I’m only going because it’s time for me to have even more fun elsewhere."
