When my friend Tish over at Ugotrade started getting all excited over a new tech opening in Second Life I figured it could be something special. When I read her amazingly detailed writeup of the Eolus project, which launches this Friday, I went looking for Eolus McMillan, the project's lead, in hope of grabbing some audio to add to Tish's text. The following podcast will give you the lowdown on what I think is one of the most exciting Second Life tech projects I've seen: An ambitious attempt to provide not only a "think tank" of some of Second Life's smartest folks and top companies, but to also practically demonstrate what the future may hold for 3D immersive environments and our every day lives.
I also had a chance to speak briefly with Tue Torok, who's SL Business Link, which is also today's Things To Do, launches today. You can hear a short talk from Tue, then a lightly edited conversation I had with Eolus McMillan.
This is also the first time I've had guests on the show, so do share your feedback, good or bad!
