Second Life Information :: Doing Business in Second Life

The Onion takes on Second Life in a "news story" titled Second Life Makes Dream Of Owning Fictitious Coffee Shop Come True.

Jarrett's shop is popular among Second Life regulars for its atmosphere, its 24-hour availability, and its location between the T-Mobile dealership and the 10,000-foot glowing green penis.

Heck, you've probably been there yourself.

Heh, this is funny. A satire site with the tagline "Your World. Sorry About That."

From Reuters... Sweden to open virtual embassy in Second Life

“It will have answers to questions on all aspects of Sweden,” Olle Wastberg, general director of the Swedish Institute, an organization which promotes the country’s image abroad, said on Tuesday.

The embassy will be called House of Sweden and modeled on the country’s new embassy in Washington. It will open in a couple of weeks.

A complete capture of the conversation BMW hosted, along with a few photos, over at the SL Business Communicators blog.

Munich Express from BMW came to BMW World (BMW New World 143, 119, 23) to interact with about thirty SL residents. BMW sees Second Life as an interesting feedback tool, and a platform for marketing and R&D.

I am personally disappointed in BMW's position with regards to hydrogen, where Munich admitted that yes, its perhaps 10 years away, all the stakeholders still need to come together to make it happen, and they haven't worked out how they will actually manufacture hydrogen. Meanwhile, bridge technologies such as plug-in hybrids are sorely under-represented.

All in all, an interesting hang. Despite the guy in the green mohawk with a rather obtrusive male member. I think he got bored.
