Time for another round of Second Life blog, news and Web links that I’ve collected over the last week.
- Forbes chats with Mark Klingdon about a Second Wind for Second Life.
- iReport tours Imperial College London’s virtual medical school.
- East Carolina University allows some High School students to attend classes via SL. “In the long term, it means we could serve a far greater number of students because were not dealing with the constraints of space and transportation.”
- According to the Gartner Hype Cycle, public virtual worlds like SL are going through a period that they call the Trough of Disillusionment on our way to the Slope of Enlightenment and the Plateau of Productivity.

- New World Notes points us to a website that maps SL versions of RL locations.
- Tateru Nino notices that contrary to what the mainstream media thinks, businesses are not abandoning SL in droves.
- Crap Mariner showcases SL musicians via the Tunes in SL gallery – a catalog of SL musicians who sell their music on iTunes.
