Good to see SL mentioned in Venturewoods.

I am interested in applications of second life that intermixes the real world.
I have experimented with using second life to publize a Mass Tree Planting Marathon.

I have participated in a virtual marketing case study unconference.

and of course the World Economic Forum coverage by Reuters.

Soon there is going to be the next version of the tree planting initiative with the learnings over the past six months. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile friend me: Labsji Link in second life.

I want to connect with other SL enthus.

-Balaji S.

Adam Pasick runs a "bureau" in second life. This whole virtual reality is getting amazing, and as I see there would be a good demand for companies providing value-added services (not just the virtual pepsi which MTV has sold 11,000 cans of it!). These would be services to build and support gigs like the party at the MTV's virtual laguna beach. Teens are willing to pay ransom to transport out their avatars from second life to myspace and vice-versa or buy a specially developed ringtone for second life residents. The imagination doesn't end. The stickiness is pehnomenal. When I joined early last year, for fun I posted a weekly classified posing as a "Hindi instructor" and within two days I had 3 people e-mailing me!(First ever "Hindi instructor" in the virtual world?) I'll try to tap in while you are around. Alok:
