Just got back from Conversation Week event in Second Life. The event was held at the Peacemaker Institute on Commonwealth 3 (via Commonwealth Islands in Second life). See my snapshots below.
Our conversation revolved around technology, ethics, morality, information overload, filtering, and metaverse activism. I'm still a newbie when it comes to SL. I do my online conversations in the blogosphere. It was my first time to participate in a Conversation Cafe style, virtual or otherwise. But all in all, thanks to the warmth, depth, and openness of all the participants, I find the experience very positive and engaging.
The potential of the metaverse as both a platform and "location" for deep conversations and serendipitous meetings is very promising. I think it's about time that I brush up on my SL skills and do more exploring.
Big thanks to Vivienne for her warm welcome and for hosting the conversation.
NOTE: For Gaia Community members who are into Second Life, check out Second life: Virtual Self pod and bring your digital self. We're also celebrating Conversation Week here at Gaia Community via Questions and Reflections.

Vivienne is the mastress of Second Life. I can't even figure out how to get the arms to move. I think technology is already playing such an unbelievably huge role in social activism. It blows my mind how the cost of convening, organizing and conversing has literally collapsed. We may be in a fight against time on this planet, and thank god, that Web 2.0 is here to help in the race!
