Watch this: IBM Second Life AD

I couldn’t believe it, but this is the quintessential of any virtual world, for businesses. You have to watch it.
And after that, you have to tell me what you think of it.

I personally think that this is EARLY STAGE: real money (actual money) will come, sooner or later, and those who start first will have […]

Virtual Fashion Summit, 19-22 june, Minneapolis

I told you about the Virtual Worlds Conference, so I can’t miss to tell you about the upcoming Virtual Fashion Summit, on 19-22 june 2008 in Minneapolis (Minnesota) (source).
To be honest:
1. The Virtual Fashion website is ugly, I hope they’ll get it fixed soon.
2. I don’t care too much about fashion, in general, but I […]

Virtual Worlds Conference: New York, 3-4 april 2008

The upcoming Virtual Worlds 2008 Conference will take place in New York on 3-4 april 2008.
The cost is like any other conference (early registration ends feb 29th, and you’ll save 700 $), and you’ll meet some mayor players in virtual worlds (we’re still missing Philip Rosedale there… what’s up?)

Such kind of conferences are great for […]

Fiat auto in Second Life… Not italian, but brazilian

Couldn’t believe it: Fiat auto, the prestigious italian car brand from Turin, has a Second Life presence. A nice one.
Vint Falken went there, and shoot some machinima videos to show us some stuff.
Unluckily, this is not something from Fiat Auto ITALY, it’s from the Brazilian branch of the company. How sad.
Now, please: tell me if […]

Second Life economy in recession?

This is what the Second Life Herald is claiming: Second Life Economy is in recession.
I agree, and also agree that PMLF (Positive Monthly Linden Flow) is one of the best tool to determine trends for a virtual economy.
There is, however, the “bank ban” factor to take into account; it simply means that previous indicators were […]

Ajaxlife: a Second Life web-based interface

The always precious James writes about Ajaxlife, a service that I appreciated long ago: it is a web-based interface for Second Life (here the official website of AjaxLife).

She launched a survey to ask opinions about “what to add” to Ajaxlife. I suggest you to take few minutes of your precious time and help her.
Besides: do […]

Metaversical Valentine’s Day

I quite hate Valentine’s Day, like in general any recurrence (I want to say “I love you” when I, and NOT the calendar, feel to).
However, people in general love Valentine’s Day, and I fully respect this point of view.
Second Life, of course, has lots of things going on for Valentine’s Day: read the post on […]

Recruiters in Second Life

Recruiters seem to be really interested in Second Life, as some virtual job fair have shown in the past.
My take is that this is the beginning of a new era: there will be, in the future, the perfect reproduction of someone, talking to the perfect reproduction of a recruiter. It will be a great moment!
What […]
