I’ve been digging around Second Life for a few weeks and so far I think there are a lot of possibilities.  Virtual trade shows, virtual meetings, product announcements.  However this is something a little different – virtual planning for a different virtual world.

While I am not exactly in the Nick Carr “IT Doesn’t matter” camp, I think David Berlind of ZDNet is really on to something when it comes to SMBs and the acqusition of new technology. » SMBs should outsource everything and vendors must adjust | Between the Lines | ZDNet.com

Since I just did a Zombie post, I feel compelled to follow-up with a post on Pirate and Ninjas.  Cool game, even if its just a demo for now.  And this may be the only way we will ever be able to determine once and for all who will win. Ninja Loves Pirate
