If you had any doubt about the future of Second Life (SL), it is time to look again. The online virtual world is the the talk of any gathering of future thinkers. One recent blog spoke about Caldwell Banker virtual real estate transaction on SL. A collegue has plans for a major rollout of some unique online training and qualification programs (more to come). But today we see two stories that point to the power of Second Life.
First, ANITA RAMASASTRY, a columnist for FindLaw examines the legal implications of online gambling on Second Life. No great surprise there. Gambling can be expected to pervade all sorts of online venues. The news here is that the creators of Second Life have invited the FBI to roam their virtual halls in pursuit of 'illegal' gambling. How's that for validation of the Second Life concept?
Second, the BBC published an article today on the use of Second Life to solicit concepts for the renovation of the gardens of Les Halles, an important Parisian underground hub and marketplace. By taking advantage of this online forum a local residents' association Accomplir (Accomplish) is has not only leveraged the latest trend in online presence, it has also garnered international attention to its project. Let's see how this project pans out.
Second Life is in the news. Time to get yours.
