I saw a Second Life demonstration at the Sun Microsystems booth at the 2007 ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference in Reno, NV. As I recall, I was in a sort of virtual conference room. I was amazed and blown away and thought to myself, this is obviously going to be the Next Big Thing. I'm glad to see Second Life is still active. Also the Guardian article is a bit long, but really quite good if you have time to read it.
