Doing business in Second Life

Today, for the second time, I took part in a business meeting in Second Life. As we’ve grown used to IM and Skype for meetings, this was bound to be the next thing, taking it into a 3D avatar world.

As with IM and Skype, in Second Life you have to get familiar with the controls, and learn how to be expressive via your avatar. But once there and with practice, it starts to become more natural.

The next step is making things. I want to be able to build 3d objects to express ideas, then be able to hand them to people or point to them. The support is there in Second Life to do that. It is just going to take practice.
I get the feeling we are going to use this a lot for business in the future.

By the way, in Second Life I’m known as Gra Itoku. See you there sometime.
