Thanks to Christy, I was alerted to the launch of a Second Life virtual television channel, Second Life Cable Network. This network is streaming live events from inside Second Life, and todays big event was a special Australian “hoe-down” featuring a number of Australian bands performing live. I watched for a few minutes on the web tv stream, then decided I had to go inside SL myself for my big chance to get on tv!! More details can be found at Cattle Puppy Productions.

Here are some shots from the event:

I wish I’d had more time to listen but when these events occur in the middle of my work day, its a little difficult to hang around unfortunately!

What I think is really interesting is the convergence of web culture and video… oh wait, isn’t that the name of the online conference I’m speaking at next week?  I’d better get back to writing that paper!!!
