Companies Continue to Get a Second Life

PreacherTom writes "Reuters and CNET aren't the only players staking online claims in the virtual world of Second Life. Yesterday, Wired magazine opened their 1-acre digitized headquarters, complete with neon-pink sliding doors and a nouveau 50 person conference room. Businessweek takes a look at the new virtual offerings from Adidas, Toyota, Lego, and even Major League Baseball in their pictoral spread. 'We are this canvas that allows companies to do what they want to do in Second Life,' says David Fleck, Linden's vice-president of marketing. 'It mimics real life much more accurately.'"

SL is not *for* you. It was made for creative people so that they could better express themselves virtually. It's much easier to consume content created by others (*ahem* us). I'm sure that you have much more fun playing WoW than "playing" a "game" like SL. Don't feel bad because we're better than you - dealing with the total absence of your kind of person is one of the best things about SL.
