You are absolutely right about the chat conversation. We really focused on the value of chat in our report "Role-Playing Redux: Convince the Curmudgeon" (http://thinkbalm.com/2008/12/17/thinkbalm-storytelling-series-1-role-play-redux-convince-the-curmudgeon/). We agree that the multiple simultaneous forms of communication that can occur in immersive meetings are killer! Thanks, Anders. You are absolutely right about the chat conversation.

Great job, I can’t believe there are still so many darn auditorium and conference rooms in Second Life and other virtual worlds. Thanks for joining the crusade against these. :-) One aspect of virtual world meetings I would add is the role of chat. While not a unique property of the virtual world, I’m finding that people don’t use chat in webinars and other flatland applications, but it's thriving in a virtual world meeting. Somehow, I think people feel more empowered and compelled to join the chat conversation in a virtual world, which is a great way of participation. I love this report!
