Work is being done to increase the "sense of presence" through better gestures, avatar animations, and interfaces. "If you do the math, the cost savings to do meetings virtually at a distance instead of putting people on planes is enormous," says Kapor. "Carbon offsets are one of these intermediate solutions, if they are done well they do make a difference.. but it's like trying to fill a bathtub with the stopper open. I see this causal change from 3D cameras, body language, more realistic intereaction, to make virtual worlds more useful not just for people who want to explore a different identity.. but ending the tyranny of geography [through virtual meetings] is important."

Linden Lab Chairman Mitch Kapor acknowledges that Second Life is still difficult to use, but says Second Life will be as big as the internet and will merge with the internet, but only if it is open like the internet. Will Linden Lab and Second Life make it to that point? "Well," says Mitch, "That's the 64 bllion dollar question, it's like a video game, you have to win on earlier levels but that just gives you a ticket to play the next round, if you look at other disruptive technologies, the companies that did well didn't necessarily reap the big benefits at the end."

Robert talking about the recent flap with Facebook, in which his account was flagged and disappeared temporarily due to a script he ran to "scrape" his Facebook friend contact data to import into another service. Robert points out that the script he ran was functionally the same script that _Facebook_ runs to scrape data from Gmail. The biggest issue with Facebook's current system, according to Robert, is if you are suspected of doing something bad, they ERASE you and there is no review process, which he sees as a problematic process. He also asks, what does "friending" mean on these systems?

Live on Reuter's island in Second Life, Adam Reuter's interviews SL CEO Philip Rosedale, currently discussing entrepreneurship. Philip disagrees that there is a PR strategy problem, and says that transparency is the way to go, but pre-discussion of policies may be more damaging than just announcing policy changes when they are made. He also suggests some sort of currency/billing changes by May 1st, but I missed that part of the conversation.

L'isola della Reuters su Second Life. Per ora uno dei migliori spazi virtuali che ho trovato. Filmati, news, conferenze ed altro.

Reuters has an empty but gorgeous headquarters here. They are doing some interesting things with news delivery. Their news HUD evidently gives out landmarks to conference areas to discuss each story. It's nice to see a news organization innovating for a change. Hmm... the snapshot seems to have greyed out a big chunk of the pretty interior. Alas...
