Second Life as used by businesses and education

I read the article on Scond Life being used by businesses and education. I know I always say this in regard to virtual world phenomena, but I'm not surprised that is has taken the path it has, or at least that many are using it that way. Second life is fun. I consider it to be like lucid dreaming. That where you're dreaming and realise you are, so you egin to manipulate the dream in a way. Can you see the paralell?

Whenever I'm on there ad I see someone cruising around, I like to fly up to them and ask what they're doing or just other smal talk. I've talked to people from al over the country doing this. I haven't had anything that amunts to formal dialogue yet, though. It's usually just "Hi, what the heck is going on here?" and then flying away soon after. I think I'd like to participate in a class setting on there if given the opportunity.
