Hey, you're not wrong - life is easier if you're bringing these guys into a controlled environment. Forterra's solution is a good one on that level, and depending on the client's needs its often going to be the way to go. You know though, this blog post is a symptom of how busy we've been this week - because the point I was trying for (and re-reading the blog post now didn't seem to actually reach) was just that of overcoming the existing social stigma of virtual worlds in general. How do you usually do it on the initial approach? Do you bring a raft of screenshots with you, or make sure you have comparable company/organization names on the tip of your tongue? I must remember to reach out to you as well for an update on OLIVE's concurrency levels... Hi Dick! Hey, you’re not wrong – life is easier if you’re bringing these guys into a controlled environment.

How do you usually do it on the initial approach? Do you bring a raft of screenshots with you, or make sure you have comparable company/organization names on the tip of your tongue?

I must remember to reach out to you as well for an update on OLIVE’s concurrency levels…

Caleb you are a great guy and we work well together, but c'mon why put these sensitive types in VWs where dress code ISN'T an issue? And, actually the primary issue is not face, its security. No enterprise guy is going to allowed to strut his private enterprise stuff in a public (Internet) space. Lets get real: VWs that need to be secure for enterprise collaboration will be behind the firewall. There is no other option. Well, well, well…executives are sensitive to context!
