Virtual Paris 2007

Second Life, camembert style
Hello, just a few words to underline that Text100 Paris will participate to a one day event dedicated to companies investigating virtual worlds. The conference will not focus specifically on SL, but wants to be as large as possible about opportunities for Metaverses (= virtual worlds).

Of course, SL being one of the most advanced one, it will be hard to avoid speaking
about SL. Builders, designers, and marketing companies will also speak during this day.

Text100 will be the only one agency this day speaking about PR in SL.

Philippe Beteille (GM Paris) and myself will speak about PR in SL (more precisely how these universes changes the deal of traditional PR by targeting small and identified communities or even individuals).


A French pool of virtual world expertise

The idea behind this conference is to create an entry point for French company who wants to investigate virtual worlds, and get all required competencies.

Do we already have somewhere a list of text100 partners in SL ?

We’ll keep you updated with the info on this event.

Enterprise 2.0 – an overview

A good article on this topic – in English
Following the introduction of blueKiwi I made recently, I would like to share with you a fantastic article written with one of the most influential blogger in france. The guy is involved in web2-stuff questions and he is one of the leading specialist for Second Life.
Once again, these concepts of "2.0" remain unclear and are often criticized. However, there is something happening and, yes, as it is difficult to find the adapted vocabulary, Enterprise 2.0 will be fine for the moment.
He wrote a remarkable article in French dedicated to the Enterprise 2.0 topic.
Then he decided to translate it in English.
Extract :

If “Web 2.0” was 2006’s buzzword, we begin to hear much of Enterprise 2.0. To make a long story short, it means using inside an enterprise the successful tools of web 2.0.
Please, do not sum-up this to internal blogs or wikis, this notion
gather much richer fields and above all implies deep mutations which go
farther than rolling-out new tools.
Before going through my overview map (which can confuse you), I’d like first to introduce the subject.
