Summary of Second Life used for BusinessMore than 10 years ago it was though that Instant Messaging would only be used to socialize with friends and family, however it is now commonly used in everyday work activities between coworkers and customers to quickly communicate.
Just like Instant Messaging, SL is gaining popularity in the business sector by offering real-time meetings without leaving the office, employee training sessions and simulations, recorded teamwork efforts and product feedback from clients.
Statistics show significant growth among SL monthly user hours, which grew from an average of less than 20 hours in early 2006 to more than 100 hours in summer 2008 (Second Life Economy Graphs).
SL can offer inexpensive business alternatives in a fun, engaging environment for company employees and customers.

You should do a f2f (or online) workshop on Second Life. I have a name: Professor Dumpling. However, when I went on there, I was naked and just wondering around aimlessly. Gave up on it months ago.
I am very interested in SL and how it can be used in connection with pedagogy. I would like to hear others ideas on this topic.
I think Second Life has a great potential. I created an account on SL a couple of weeks ago just to give it a try.
I have never heard of Second Life until you brought it up on your page. I have to try this sometime and see if it works for my classroom to use. I dont know if it will works for my language: American Sign Language. It will be cool if they added that feature!
I think this is an excellent feature especially for people that travel with their jobs...I just wonder if the the technology aspect is intimidating to some.
SecondLife can be great once you spend the $90 on a decent videocard. Although, I just read in the news yesterday how a married couple are divorcing because the husband was caught cheating on SecondLife
