I don't believe so however in 1993 there was a notorious incident in a MUD that prompted freelance journalist Julian Dibbell to write an article entitled, "A Rape in Cyberspace." For more information go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Rape_in_Cyberspace I’m not sure.

I've never signed on, but it seems to me that the risk of assassination--or at least heckling--would be very high for this type of high profile event. Did they have security guards to restrain the crowd? The people in the crowd look very well behaved. Is murder possible in Second Life?

What a great demo of the online press conference concept. One comment, the part that kept bringing me out of the 'virtual experience' was the blank faces not resonating with the energetic voice presentation. I imagine with all the user-generated content on Second Life there must be a tool that could sync lip movements to voice and maybe generate dynamic facial expressions?

Scott, thanks for sharing your perspective. I agree that Second Life does have some usability issues and a bit of a bridge to cross but hopefully its long-term applications are realized.

Definitely an interesting medium, though, we seem to be inching closer and closer to Neal Stephenson's Metaverse.

Given this week's flurry of virtual world news from the likes of IBM and Google, virtual worlds are definitely far from dead! http://blogs.cisco.com/virtualworlds/comments/one_small_step_for_an_avatar_one_giant_leap_for_virtual_worlds/ Thanks for the insightful post.
