Virtual Town Meetings in Second Life
Thursday, November 16, 2006
Voip never ceases to amaze me. Second Life's Linden Labs (LL) has regular Town Hall-type meetings, where the citizens get a chance to let LL know what's got them hot under the collar or shaking in their boots. With over 1 million residents, it's become difficult to find a place where everyone can fit, so LL created a virtual Town Hall meeting, inside of the Virtual Reality (VR) metaverse called Second Life. Who knew we'd need virtual stuff for our virtual lives?
Citizens have the option of simply listening in to the streaming audio broadcast of the latest Town Hall Meeting, by tuning their inworld radios or outworld media players to http://screlay-dtc0s-3.shoutcast.com:8080/. Those who want to participate more fully in the Q & A session can slip on a headset or use their webcam's integrated microphone to talk via voip internet phone technology directly to LL's representative...
The next meeting is November 16th, at 1:30pm and promises to be an exciting one--so pull up a chair, get comfy with your iPod, and discover what it's like to have your finger on the pulse of an entire virtual universe.
