  1. What’s the point of, as Shel said, getting around a table and having meetings in Second Life? What does that get you that GoToMeeting or WebEx doesn’t? Shel compared it to video conferencing, but that doesn’t seem right. It’s not as though you’re actually seeing the person you’re talking to when you’re talking in Second Life.

    I don’t see how Web chat, WebEx, conference calls and other simpler technologies are deficient in this area. Besides, who wants to sit in a meeting in which people are just typing back and forth at each other while other people in the background are trying to find some virtual boobs to look at?
