The collaboration between Linden Lab, IBM and an eclectic collection of software adventurers on the Open Grid may be the most direct step taken so far toward a true ‘metaverse’. Come hear IBM’s Zha Ewry and Linden Lab’s Zero Linden talk about the progress they have made, and the implications of their work, at Metanomics, Noon PST on Monday, August 4th. We start the show with Dusan Writer announcing the follow-up to his much-lauded competition to design improvements to the Second Life viewer.

Hear the story straight from Language Lab’s Managing Director David Kaskel (Edgware Marker in SL). Find out why Bettina Tizzy of "Not Possible in Real Life" has said "Human Resource departments all over the world will soon be ponying up and sending their corporate executives in droves to Second Life to make use of this brand."
