Giff Constable of The Electric Sheep Company was on MSN recently. It is an interesting piece about job recruiters. Giff is always articulate and as much as he knows about Second Life and virtual worlds, he always keeps it simple when talking to people that are not familiar with them.
I’m not sure what all happened there, but this CNET site gives a brief rundown.
Wrap your head around that for a minute :-)
I found this video on the Second Life Herald.
Passing it on to you. Direct link.
I posted the video of this over on my other blog at http://JeremyVaught.com, check it out yo!
Jane Calvert in Second Life, Jean-Ann Mills in real life, both of whom work for the Electric Sheep Company, was on Fox’ The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet this morning.
Jean-Ann says she was told the clip will be posted later today, I’m assuming it will be posted at http://mandjshow.com.
Below is a screenshot I took.
Catch the my Flickr set here.
Have you seen this? Or am I the only one in the dark?
It appears there is an opengl browser created by someone at Linden Lab in preparation for web on a prim. Of course was released almost a year and a half ago. [enter web on a prim slam here]
Anyway, I’m shocked this is the first I heard about it.
Found at govtech.net, The Conference Board will hold its first virtual meeting in Second Life. The Conference Board is a global business research and membership organization.
Holding meetings in Second Life or any other virtual world is not new news, what is interesting is that, among others, Clay Shirky will be presenting. Clay Shirky has been very vocal about aspects of Second Life, especially how Linden Labs counts how many residents there are.
Welcome back to Second Life, Clay.
For some more information on the conference itself, the article says:
“This is the first Conference Board meeting that is a true hybrid between ‘real life’ and the reality of ‘virtual worlds,’” said Roche. “By having half of the meeting in Second Life, we will be joined by experts from as far away as Finland, Japan, Malaysia, Scotland, Germany, Chile, and France.
“These “remote” participants in the meeting will be presenting both videos and slides presentations within the virtual facility. All participants worldwide will be linked together via a telephone teleconferencing system.
“This unique meeting will feature business strategy, innovation, marketing, legal, and technology leaders.”
Is this for real?
Check it out on youtube.
It is pretty funny… but can’t be real. If it is real, it wasn’t don’t in the U.S.
Anyone?
I haven’t used it much, but another stab at search in Second Life has been announced. search.sheeplabs.com. Brought to you by Christian from the Electric Sheep Company.
First saw it on a mortgage website, and then another, and finally on cnn’s website. You can click these link for much more information, but I’ll say that this is interesting to me ‘cuz this is a company looking to do actual business in a virtual world, and has a legitimate chance of doing just that.
