I was asked by a work colleague to take the department on a tour of SecondLife at our recent staff meeting and spent a fair bit of time earlier in the week putting it together. Unfortunately it didn’t end up happening, so rather than let a perfectly good presentation go to waste I thought I’d transform it into a video that could be shared on the web.

Given a number of my online colleagues, friends and other contacts have begun to discuss similar questions I would suspect – or at least hope – that this video may prove useful to others as well. I’m also quite interested in exploring more widely the questions I pose in the presentation, so if you have thoughts or experiences in this area please leave a comment or trackback with your thoughts.

Also I haven’t historically had the opportunity to do many presentations so any feedback on how I could improve things would be welcome as well. Roll film…

A colleague of mine has indicated I speak way too fast during parts of the presentation. So in the interests of making sense I’ve uploaded a transcript of the talk to Scribd. This file is available below:
