All of this renovation and motivation and passion is, apparently, aimed to woo companies back into Second Life, and here’s why: Now that broadband, advanced processors and headsets are commonplace, it is now feasible to choose Second Life as a much more pleasant and inviting place to host your meetings and conference calls, especially in a world rife with swine flu and chopped travel budgets. You can easily set up an office space or a conference room and all meet up in-world, together, to engage in negotiations and collaboration. What’s more, thanks to something like SkypeIn and SkypeOut, you’ll soon be able to loop in all the folks who can’t make it to SL through a telephone-to-Second Life number. And soon, denizens of Second Life will be able to send and receive SMS text messages via their in-world cell phone to their friends who are outsiders, according to Linden Labs’ Kingdom.
Second Life, past the hype. Can you tell what’s real any more? Via Scobleizer and Adage.
