There are a couple of pretty good articles covering different but related things in Second Life. The first over on the ABC news website, “Want to Make Money in Second Life? It’s Harder Than You Think” (Link), seems to be somewhat tied to the recent SLCC convention but stands on its own as an objective look at running a business in the virtual world. I especially enjoyed reading about one resident’s efforts to learn banking so she could set up her own lending institution. Forget the money she’s making, it’s the skills she’s learning that should have people taking notice.
The second article, “City Turns New Leaf in Second Life” (Link) is over on CADalyst (imagine that) and discusses the advantages of teaching architecture inside a virtual world. It’s a really nice little piece and well worth the read… assuming you’re not an l33t CAD user who can’t be bothered.
