Here's a quick view of something we've been working on for a while at vpod.tv: enabling our users to easily publish video onto their own environments such as web, mobile, IPTV and new virtual worlds such as Second Life and others :)

Here's my avatar in our piece of land on the LoicLeMeur island :) (thanks buddy!), and and big thanks to the girls (they'll recognize themselves) for the garden layout. Coming up: streaming video (live? :) in there...

and indeed, some very careful eyes had already spotted something...

Crowded HQ of Ségolène Royal on Second Life

I just dropped by tonight on Ségolène Royal's new HQ in Second Life. I've been wandering in this new virtual world a couple of times, and I'm almost always alone, anywhere I go. Tonight I'm really surprised: this is the most crowded space I've ever been to, this place is meant for French people, and it's 2 am on a Saturday night...

There was some controversy on whether it made sense to create such an HQ: I believe it's a smart move: the people who show up here could have shown up on any forum to discuss, but at least they also have some fun and interactivity with their fellow people while discussing on Second Life, and it allows the campaign team to interact with them more easily  and give them some multimedia content in the amphi...

Nice move... but of course, a marginal move considering all the French people that don't even have heard of SL ever...
