On 20 February, I spoke at the Museums and galleries marketing day about ‘Second Life: a new third place?’.

This is how it felt. A big cinema space. A huge screen behind me. A stage. Me wired up (and my voice booming round the room). Sound guys recording me from the top right. Lights shining in my eyes (now I know why rock stars wear shades!). About 60 people in the space. 35 mins talking (I went fast!), 25 mins Q&A. A dry mouth once in a while. Think it went well – the questions were great fun. Will find out more from the feedback results and listening (if I can bear it) to the audio.

After speaking many times on what companies are doing in the virtual world of Second Life, I _finally_ materialised in SL this weekend. My representation in world (called an avatar) is Employee Alcott. There are ideas brewing for producing and exhibiting a series of resident-created work-inspired artworks, and commissioning the design of items not yet available in SL (including a tennis game, green items that generate income for resident owners and a car I love. Watch this space.
