Remember the homeless avatar in Second Life that got a lot of attention a few weeks back? Rik Riel and Nedra Weinreich also wrote it up and I suspect it probably inspired a few Second Life Doubter's Club posts. The idea came up when we were talking about Second Life, and that you start the off without anything.

When people talk about museum projects in Second Life and other virtual worlds, I'm often disappointed by the short-sightedness of the vision. Sadly, Robbie's goal was to use Second Life as a platform to create a 2D representation of the painting--so the 3D space of the painting is not available for visitors to explore.

Second Life, the on-line parallel universe, is a controversial topic. I was wandering by Second Life interviews onsite at Davos. At the same time, I have heard that it is overhyped and that the number of participants is exaggerated. Some folks are fanatical about it, and it's touching a lot of real world places.
