this brings up a question thats been floating around in the back of my head. SL has been trying to pitch itself as a viable venue to conduct official business, correct? is the fad wearing off now? because it seems fairly redundant as a technology, if you need remote video teleconferencing you can already do that as a business. even residential users have video chat on msn (or other favorite im).

"fad wearing off"

Seems to me the "fad" wore off a while ago. What's happening now is that those companies and institutions that have found a use for SL/opensim are making better use of the platform.

This image seems to communicate where we're at, and potentiall where we're going:
