This is interesting news for those who doubt that SL has any impact on RL: Sun Microsystems is held its press conference today in SL, in the Sun Pavilion, rather than at Sun HQ. Why have they done this? Naysayers contend that it's an attempt to jump on the perceived bandwagon of MMOGs, with no real purpose behind taking advantage of whatever benefits such a move would bring.The other side maintains that SL is part of the 'Web 2.0' configuration, and that by getting in early, Sun is merely staking out important territory in mindspace. Regardless, Sun's motto "The Network is the Computer" seems pretty relevant here ... I wonder if their press conference was affected by the recent particle attack? The mind boggles!
