Remember the homeless avatar in SecondLife that got a lot of attention a few weeks back? Rik Riel and Nedra Weinreich also wrote it up and I suspect it probably inspired a few SecondLife Doubter's Club posts. So, I took the extra step of an interview. What are the logistics of working the avatar?
The live video feed was being streamed from the Netsquared gathering in San Francisco happening at the same time as the virtual gatherng in SecondLife. Jeska Linden , Community Manager for Linden Labs, has the mike in her hand, while her avatar is behind the podium in SecondLife. So back to last night's events.
David and Randy (I've presented with them several times, hugged them, had beers with them, I've even hung out in our Nonprofit Commons in SecondLife virtual island with them, so yes, we are on a first name basis) reminded me that innovation doesn't just happen.

Today, an interview with Sibley Verbeck (Hathor's his virtual name), founder/CEO of the Electric Sheep Company , which does experience design for real-world companies in virtual worlds including SecondLife. Why would they want a SecondLife presence? It’s a little disjointed, but the key points are: 1.
Later this week, I'll be interviewing Jerry Paffendorf , co-inventor of Destroy TV.
