Setting Up in Second Life: A Guide for Federal Agencies
Anne Laurent, a consultant with the Atlantic Media Company, sent this in. It’s a great on-the-ground look at a federal agency taking their first steps into the virtual world. This is a rare look at the struggles with bureaucracy, fighting preconceptions, surprise billing hurdles, and handling contracts – you know, the non-flashy stuff nobody covers but that could kill your project.
If you look at the press you get the impression that politicians don’t know anything about this stuff, but when you get down to the level of actual agencies that make things work you start to discover the real entrepreneurs that make things move. This is good stuff, I look forward to seeing the rest of the series. You can follow it too as it unfolds at The Agile Mind.
