Reminds me of the type of conversations people were having about 10
years ago about the creation and use of museum websites!
It would seem that creating your own reality to your own needs and
desires, and finding others who want to share in your reality is
starting to become a way of life for some people.
The questions for us that arise from this are many and varied, and the
fact that cultural and artistic matters are arising from places like
second life itself, it surely won't be long before (like radio one for
instance) there is a truly virtual museum!

Hi Mike
I have thought about the idea of establishing an MOL presence in Second
Life, but decided against it mainly on financial grounds that it was a
rather experimental idea with no clear learning effectiveness/returns
for the outlay that would be required to run a decent 'building' at this
point.
It did strike me however that it might be interesting for a group of
institutions perhaps with a related theme or location could have a group
presence...

Hi All
Do any of you have virtual presences in Second Life (or any of the other
virtual worlds)? Have you thought about it, decided against it, thought
about it and done it, or not thought about it....?
Would be interesting to hear from you, either on- or off-list
Thanks
Mike
