As mentioned in this article, Linden Lab, Second Life's publisher, estimates that the total amount of content being created by its users is equivalent to the output of 5,100 full-time programmers. You Tube is a movie factory, blogs a writing factory, podcasts a broadcast factory, and now this in Second Life:
- IBM is holding virtual meetings here
- Reuters has opened up a news outlet within the world
- and LOTS of commerce is going on
I still think Halo is a better platform for interacting (and resolving business disputes in a more... ummm... direct manner) -- as evidenced by the interviews conducted in This Spartan Life
Kelly, I will chaulk Second Life up to another one of those things I heard from you first.
ReplyDeleteKeep pursuing your socialist approach to email. It is not that far afield from an overnight deletion of all media files.
