I think it's interesting that business people are turning to virtual worlds, like Second Life to conduct meetings. I think it is sad that technology has come to this, because people are getting more disconnected from each other. I think it is a good idea in some ways, such as, if someone was taking a sick day or out of town on a business trip they could still be at business meetings, in a way. Many companies are already using SL for these purposes like Cisco and Microsoft. The blog said that it seems as though the people that are doing this are people that have previously used SL for their own use, and are just now introducing it to their work place. It also said that it mainly used to conduct meetings and import 2D files such as powerpoint. SL is also in competition with their own costumers because SL are offering similar services as Sun's Project Wonderland and Qwak. That would suck for the Linden's because he seems to think it will threaten them in a way. I didn't really understand that part because I don't know what's wrong with other poeple creating the same thing.?
