Business as Usual?

Second Life has released the Beta Version of its Enterprise tool. This allows companies such as IBM and other organizations such as governmental agencies and educational institutions to use Second Life for virtual meetings behind their own firewalls. The use of virtual spaces and avatars for meeting and communicating with others, who are not located near you, gives a greater sense of being there which is effective for collaboration and learning.

You can read more about this in the recent Information Week Story, "Second Life steps into the Enterprise" and also in a recent CNN article, "Going to the Virtual Office in Second Life."
