There once was a time when I thought Second Life was going to take over the world. Second Life was different. Alas, Second Life had an Achilles heel. To me it’s simple: Second Life failed to accommodate Average Joe. And so Second Life sailed off the edge of the virtual world.

I'm sure that once you add presence-based audio (meaning you can hear people who are close to you) that WebEx style systems will begin to look more like second life so you can have easier break-out sessions. So, in a couple of years, we would expect to have virtual conferences, virtual meetings in these kinds of environments.

Wendy Wickham asked a good question in the comments on TCC08: Second Life: Teaching Tips from the Virtual Frontier: Christy - are you using 2 computers (one for blogging, one for the conference), or just one? How are you finding the experience of liveblogging an online conference? It does feel a little intense.

This morning, I had a great time giving a presentation to a group over in the UK via a mash up of Skype and Second Life. Of course I would have liked to have been there in person but, since it was a virtual world conference, I figured that a virtual presentation made a lot of sense and is less time consuming.
