Second Life takes virtual goods corporate
Last night I attended an education forum with worldwide educators and interested professional participants. It was impressive,
professional and well-attended. I watched as the event coordinators instructed our avatars (created characters who represent you in this virtual world) to pick up free gifts and meeting material at the door. There were photos taken. There was a professional panel of experts. For all intensive purposes, it ran just like a session at a professional conference without the expense of travel, food and lodging.
I found it so interesting to see that the networking and socialization that takes place in First Life (aka, real life) was similar to that of any conference or meeting. Conversations were in voice and text. The presentation was transcribed and recorded. A live Internet broadcast was made available for those who didn’t have avatars participating in Second Life (SL).
It looks like SL is going mainstream and that’s good for all of us. Learn more about SL’s step into the real world.
