Shopping for Free?

Virtual Mall is the creation of programmer Pat Gustin, who launched the free mobile game just nine months ago. To date, more than 300 thousand people have downloaded the application, of which roughly 60 percent are active at any given time. Such numbers are very appealing for companies who advertise through mobile applications.

"The idea of the game is simple," says Gustin. "People rent spaces in a virtual shopping mall and select products to sell from a catalog we provide." -[1]-. He explained that if the virtual vendors are able to manage their stores correctly, they make a profit in virtual money. -[2]-.

The game offers a level of detail and customization that is appreciated by users. It has even proven to be popular among women, a difficult target to reach in the world of mobile gaming. -[3]-.

Gustin says he is also working on another game called Virtual Farm, to which he will apply the same concepts but in an agricultural setting. -[4]-. He hopes to launch the game by early next year.

Those interested in learning more about Virtual Mall are encouraged to download the application for free. For details about Gustin's other games, go to www.virtualgamesco.com.

Hi Lena,

Thanks so much for the invitation! I would love to go with you to the ballet premiere. Fraulein Danza Company has done amazing work at the shows I've seen before, so I'm sure this performance will be fantastic as well. Besides, I'm a really big fan of Sofia Pinsky. You must have had a lot of fun interviewing her and Igor Petrovich at their studio yesterday.

I can meet you at the theater at 7:30 on May 9 if you want, or maybe we can get together earlier for dinner. There is a nice place right next to the Gladstone Theater called Carlotta's Bistro. Let me know if you'd like to do that.

Thanks again. I am really looking forward to it!

Prima Ballerina: Sofia Pinsky

The main dancer of this evening's premiere performance, Dance of the Daffodils, is prima ballerina Sofia Pinsky from Ukraine. Ms. Pinsky plays the title character of Princess Daffodil, leading a troupe of 30 professional dancers. She trained at the prestigious Kiev Classical Dance Academy and went on to study under famed dancer Alexi Petrov in Moscow. Under his instruction, she entered the European National Ballet Competition in St. Petersburg and won second place, which was the first trophy of her career. She has been the lead dancer in performances in cities around the world, including London, New York, and Tokyo. Ms. Pinsky joined the Fraulein Danza Company two years ago and has been performing for them ever since.
