NextGov - Tech Insiders: A Serious Gamer for the Obama Team

President-elect Barack Obama picked two academics to co-chair his transition team for the Federal Communications Commission. While the professors -- Kevin Werbach, who teaches business, policy, and social implications of emerging Internet and communications technologies at the Wharton, the business school at the University of Pennsylvania, and Susan Crawford, who teaches communications and Internet law at the University of Michigan -- are immersed in technology policy, Werbach, it turns out, enjoys online gaming. Rather, he plays the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORG, in the vernacular) World of Warcraft, according to an article posted by Gigaom.com.
