Lots of links to interesting stuff. Have any of you checked out Second Life yet? I plan to do so in my (ahem) spare time.
And here's a great quote:
We should insist on features that our "power users" (our Superpatrons?) want, "because these are the features that the average user will want two years from now."Wish I could've been at the conference.

Second Life seems creepy to me, but I'm a bit of a paper-freak, as people know. I did see a bit on the nightly news last evening about employers now checking out prospective employees's My Space pages. So, I would say that if you want a Second Life, you may want to make it a clean one! ;-)
Yep. I've been thinking a lot about virtual life vs. real life and how to keep one's professional identity separate from one's personal life. I wonder if it will be possible to keep them separate anymore. It's a bit like living in a small town. Everyone knows your business--personal and professional--so you're never really free to be yourself in either arena without consequences in the other.
