More of my online contacts are appearing on Second Life! I recently blogged about the Online Library, and now I see that TechSoup.com is living there in a new satellite community, and will be holding online events.
In the Tech Soup forum, they share that Creative Commons has had some great guest lectures on Second Life. I also just learned that Relay for Life has a team there ("SL residents set up and decorate campsites, and sell small items to help raise Relay money just like at your local relay. However, since this is a virtual environment you may see some teams offering blimp rides, or holding sailboat races inside the park.")
If I could find a way to incorporate it into real job-paying life, I'd probably become a member of Second Life - it sounds like way too much fun, and perhaps the place to be for online learning. Maybe one day one of our local libraries will take this up!
