Cisco and Second Life -- what a happy pair. Shashi Kiran writes in his Cisco blog that Second Life events have exceeded all expectations of success.
"Cisco initially launched a presence on Second Life in Dec 2006, it was a novelty. We had a few visitors, but it was mostly a lot of Cisco employees logging in to create their avatars and flying over the islands. Though it was loads of fun, I wasn’t sure if it’d really take off. But it did. Today, when we host a second life event today, a few thousand people attend the live and archived events. The sessions are very interactive, and we find the community to be real fun. So, here’s more.
On Nov 20th the company plans to host a technical session in SL on “Cisco Application Extension Platform - Your Open Developer Platform.”
If you don't happen to have an Avatar, Kiran points out that you can also attend an “Ask the Experts" session from Dec 15th-Dec 30th, 2008 on the same topic. You can ask questions, which will be answered by a panel of Cisco technology experts.
