Fancy holding work meetings a la Second Life?

That'a what they would like you to do. The most fun part may be making your avatar...seriously, can you see your boss going for that?

Virtual community Second Life is seeking to tap into that market by creating a new tool that allows businesses to have virtual meetings on their own computer networks.

The company's Enterprise tool will let employees' avatars -- animated alter egos -- meet in virtual worlds from the privacy of a company's own network, rather than the public networks used in standard Second Life. That extra security could encourage more companies to take up the technology.

And my boss would take one look at me and say "Mr. Wren, please explain why your online avatar is a handsome albino of indeterminable gender in a classy suit when you never take such pride in your appearance at work?"

I'd retort with "Said the guy who looks like Sasuke." XD

I'd never be that imaginative. A pirate would be enough for me. Arrrr!!
