Its interesting that you guys in week 12 choose Second Life.
I have been a member since about 2005.

It was a buzz word back in 2006/2007 in the financial world as it was going to be massive. Banks and agents all started to train teams of people to be able to communicate their ‘real life’ customers through their Second Lives –  this was done by way of training, engaging with them in that space and there was even murmurings about offering finance for LindeX purchases of land etc.

Now lets just roll back and see what was happening at this time – Ireland had more European money thrown at it at incredibly low interest rates than it knew what to do with. I will admit it – the country lost the run of itself. With finance key figures failed to see what was real and what was not.

Anyway we got our just deserts and I seem to be the only one that has kept on with my Second Life but I must admit that since the downturn here I actually really only use it for Kitesurfing. I am pleased to reengage with it again in this context.
