As reported in a few places (but 3pointd is where I saw it) Sun is having a press conference in SL.
Its great to see some other major tech companies come into this space. We know there are a few of them out there in various shapes and sizes, its just we have been a bit more public as IBMers over the past year blogging and experimenting with what this all means. I thought we had done the first fortune 500 press conference, but I suppose we had a more direct one to one with each of the particpants over the 2 days, though the event we were showing was real SL interaction across the world.
This is a big area and there are a lot of avenues to pursue. The important point will be, as with the web, open standards.

There is a debate about the definition of a press conference? However, I think we can agree there is little debate about the feeling of being pipped at the post :o)
I do totally agree 🙂 We do though seem to be thriving though on some coopetition. The ‘first’ is what spurs some people on.
In a place of pioneers there is still some fun to be had in being the first. I think we also want to be the best though in the long run.
Touche. The Sun Pavillion will be open to all after noon Pacific Time tomorrow. Come and have a look.
