What is the meaning of Second Life?

Abstract : Second Life, its Horse-and-buggy era. Of course it's Web 2.0, whatever that is. Second life, The Next Generation. The Virtual Holodeck. WYSWYG comes to computer graphics. How does it impact global warming? Virutal marketing, real products. New networking and the old question about Internet Isolation. VoIP visiting, LOD Land, Second Language, and other terms to drop on the news media. And now for something completely different.

The Virtual Convention Hall  Everybody know that much of the productivity in a convention comes from the hallways.  So we have set up a Virtual hallway.  Your access at TCF is via a special room set up and managed by Kivac Anar (aka Code Tracer).  Details on location and times will be available at TCF.

Second Life Open House.  Come into Second Life and explore the world behind the screen.  We and our friends will be around to welcome you throughout most of the weekend.   Look for us at any of the sites in the presentations.  Look for the sign or badge at the right.  Kivac Anar is arranging for TCF participants to have access to local computers and easy installation of Second Life.  Details on location and times will be available at TCF.
