Full Summary:

Recent interest in Second Life from marketers and other companies has made it difficult to assess the success or importance of this platform. However, Jose Zagal, Ph.D. student in the School of Interactive Computing, notes that some companies are using Second Life experimentally as environments for R&D. IBM, for example, is experimenting with ways to support distributed work teams. Source: Diario Financiero, Chile (spanish)
