Back from two days in Milton Keynes for ReLIVE08, the Open University’s conference on Researching and Living in Virtual Worlds. The abstract said that Roo Reynolds has offered to not pre-prepare any slides for his closing keynote, but instead create a short presentation on the fly during the other sessions. Drawing on the notes and …

I’d hoped to take notes during the ARG panel I was moderating at Virtual Worlds London this week, and even planned create the slides on the fly. No chance. Being on stage seems to reduce my IQ by at least 20 points. While I can pay attention to what is being said and take notes …

I didn’t have long, so I wandered around Hursley with my camera and my laptop for an afternoon, thinking out loud about the near future for virtual worlds. For anyone following virtual worlds, …
A presentation I gave recently for a British charity. Ren Reynolds (no relation) suggested an alternative title for it, “Third Sector in Third Spaces”. That’s much better and I’d use something that next time. | View I’ve trimmed it down to an hour, but included most of the Q&A/discussion at the end, which included: How …

Richard Wallis of Talis recently asked some questions on his blog. Do you think Web 3.0 will be the label of the next technology wave? Will the next wave be based on Semantic Web technologies? Does it matter what we call it? I have a bit of an affinity with Talis, since they also employ …
