Emailing "IBM's Second Life Green Data Center Tour"
Today, I did something I swore I'd never do. I visited
Second Life.
Not that I hate the concept of virtual worlds, it's just that Second Life never held any appeal for me. Judging by screenshots I had seen here and there, I felt no love for the user generated content -- and the all the kitsch it implies -- that Linden Labs prides itself in.
But, how else to experience
IBM's Virtual Green Data Center first hand?
After a quick online registration, a free 30+ MB download and some futzing with the preferences, I was off to see what all the fuss was about.
