Welcome to 2b3d or not 2b3d

Surviving in a 3D internet is going to take acculturation. You'll have to figure out how to move from the desktop, the 2d flat desktop of documents, file folders, pictures, into a 3d world of gaming like worlds in which depth matters.

Let's get the dialogue started on how that's going to happen.

First of all, you'll need to dive in. Join Second Life at http://get.secondlife.com and http://join.secondlife.com. Download a copy of Google Lively. Read Virtual Worlds News at http://www.virtualworlds.com and join the lively discussion in Google Lively, and Metanomics.net (which will take you back into Second Life). Point is pick one you like, dive in, set up a home, make some friends and business partners, and get out there and talk, build, interact, play, learn, do business. 

Just stop sitting their looking at your word processing document writing descriptions of how it's going to be.
