Gaming and Virtual Worlds

I had difficulty getting Second Life to go at home. It kept telling me to upgrade something on my system, so I opted for gaming in Diner Dash. I could never be a waitress. My 14yr old was beside telling me to pour the coffee, seat the customer, keep the food critic happy. Atleast I made it that far! Quite fun!

Second Life would be great for libraries because you could give patrons a virtual tour of buildings, resources, customer service points. It would be a great marketing tool and providing general awareness. Would probably entertain Grade 7 students during a class visit. I think it would encourage people to join if they were hesitant of visiting.
