Second Life

It appears that Second Life is much bigger and more rich and complex than I had imagined. The corporate world is definitely paying attention to the virtual world, and we should too! The OCLS presence in Second Life sounds exciting and as it grows I hope I'm able to get involved.

I wonder if, in a few years, most people will be involved in virtual worlds, similar to the way it seems like everyone is now using social networking sites. It could be a fun way to try on a new persona, learn new things, or meet people you might never have the chance to encounter in real life. Visiting virtual worlds also seems like an excellent way for someone with physical disabilities to socialize and get out into the "world."
