IBM and Linden Lab, creator of Second Life, have entered into an alliance "to create an enterprise-class version of Second Life behind a corporate firewall." According to the IBM website: "IBM is helping clients and partners to conduct business inside virtual worlds and to connect the virtual world with the real world through a richer, more immersive Web environment."
So was this recent television commercial by IBM making fun of Second Life as a business tool? Or just the way some people use Second Life? Some discussion surrounding the ad from earlier this year is here.
On a personal note, looking at my travel schedule this summer, I would be interested to hear from people who have attended a virtual conference in Second Life. Good experience? Or not ready for prime time?
