Gartner analyst Steve Prentice made a pretty big blip on our radar when he predicted that 80% of internet users would have a virtual life by 2011 in April this year. He recently put a spanner in the works by warning companies away from Second Life. With all this kerfuffle and comotion over Steve's comments, we figured it was time he came into Second Life and clarified his position on Metaversed Live our weekly inworld live podcast.

Whether you agree with him or not, it's going to be a fascinating discussion. It'll be held at Metaversed stadium [teleport url] which was kindly loaned to us by John Lopez. You'd be advised to get there a good half hour early as these things are more often thatn not packed out very quickly.
Im still confirming panelists, im afraid we've put this together at rather short notice (which won't surprise regulars :) but so far it's looking pretty damn good, so i'll keep you posted on that as we go.

Fabulous! I'm particularly interested in how he reconciles his claim with the US's relatively low percentage of broadband penetration.
