It’s amazing isn’t it? And now the Open Society Archives (OSA) together with the Svenska institutet (Swedish Institute) decided to place contents related to Raoul Wallenberg’s work and life in Second Life. Their current debate: can avatars recognize the sound of a typwriter in Second Life?

background: Sweden just purchased an island in SL and will open their official state embassy in June (this will be the first state embassy in Sweden).

Cheers,

If you are interested in reading the new Jewish magazine on Second Life, go to 2lifemagazine..... It is really worth checking out, and I don’t say this because I worked on it.

I always pop into the Second Life shul when I go into second life. Sometimes I run into a colleague there, but it is just so peaceful. And I can pretty much trust that no avatars are going to put cybersex moves on me… so it feels safer than most of second life.

O Canada, how much time do you have? What I mean is basically that the “old guard” keeps doing things the “old way,” without incorporating change, technology, or taking into account what today’s Jews need…
