For the inexplicably unaware, the Second Life Community Convention was held this past weekend in Chicago with the requisite keynotes and panels. I followed the liveblogging over on the Virtual World News site and would recommend surfing through it for information, so here are the relevant links:
\n
\n– Philip Rosedale’s Keynote<\/a>
\n– Sibley Verbeck Keynotes Business Track<\/a>
\n– IP Rights and Law in Second Life<\/a>
\n– Second Life in Europe<\/a>
\n– Three Classes in Second Life<\/a>
\n– A Futurist’s View of Second Life Education<\/a>
\n– Developers in Second Life<\/a>
\n– Entrepreneurship in Second Life<\/a>
\n– Case Studies-Selling Real Life Products<\/a><\/p>\n

C|Net also happened to have a reporter in attendence, and so a few pieces were posted on the news.com site over the weekend. Here are some links:<\/p>\n

– ‘Second Life,’ after the backlash<\/a>
\n– SLCC ’07: Chicago is the metaverse’s metropolis<\/a>
\n– ‘Second Life’: The promise and paradox<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course, there’s been some follow-on commentary around the SL-centric blogosphere.<\/p>\n

The one that seems to be generating the most buzz involves comments made by Coca-Cola’s Director of Global Interactive Marketing, Mike Donnelly (see the final VWN link above).<\/p>\n

While I was aware that the media was generally misrepresenting Coca-Cola’s effort in Second Life and might have written an entry here to call that out after reading his comments, Joel Greenberg of the Electric Sheep Company does a decent job of setting the record straight in his post “Coke Comes Clean about Second Life” (Link)<\/a> so it’s unnecessary for me to post my own.<\/p>\n

The only thing I will say is: Don’t depend on the media to get the facts straight. If you’re with a first mover company, then you need to be directly involved. If you’re with a follower company, then you’re wasting time reading this blog as well as the mainstream coverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
