Sun takes their press conference to SecondLife
Sun Microsystems is going to have the first virtual 3D press conference of any fortune 500 company. On Tuesday, October 8th the company will hold their press conference in Second Life instead of at their headquarters or in a briefing room. This shows how much people, companies, and even enterprises are starting to take their traditional business rule book and throw it out the window, to make their business strategy parallel the changing times.

Hotels have been known to build their real world hotels in SecondLife to show potential guests what it would be like to stay there.

To drop in at their press conference, first you need to have a SecondLife account, free by visiting their site, then visit this link to be teleported to Sun's virtual press conference.

Frankly, I have no time for Sun over this. There is no advantage to be found in using SecondLife, over and above doing a live webcast and making the video and audio subsequently available for downloading. This is a blatant attempt to get some kind words from Robert Scoble and some press coverage as a 'forward thinking company'.
