Both Ian Hughes and myself are full-time ‘Metaverse Evangelists’ for IBM, usually based in the Hursley laboratory in the UK. We’re part of a small team (managed in the US) which has the mission of understanding virtual worlds and helping IBM adopt them both internally and for external events. Ian and I both contribute to the group-blog at Eightbar.co.uk.

Excellent article, Biscuit I wonder if there was any chance to interview this lone IBM employee that is studying Second Life. Do you think that he’d be available for something like that, ie. what is IBM looking for in virtual worlds (besides the obvious)? Or perhaps he could be gently persuaded to talk about his experience in “selling SL internally at IBM”, an experience that, if he were willing to share it, could benefit all of us who are doing the same, and so very often, like your article so well puts it, “Second Life is hard to explain to people, precisely because it is a new medium.”

So, how does he handle IBM? I’d love to know
