Metaverse Roadmap Overview - pg 1
-
In time, many of the Internet activities we now associate with the 2D Web will migrate to the 3D spaces of the Metaverse. This does not mean all or even most of our web pages will become 3D, or even that we'll typically read web content in 3D spaces. It means that as new tools develop, we’ll be able to intelligently mesh 2D and 3D to gain the unique advantages of each, in the appropriate context.

WL has some specific features that are of particular interest and that are not possible to my knowledge in SL. Application sharing is one. Being able to share any application that runs in X11 has profound implications for distance learning. and social computing. Using VNC, a MS-Windows desktop and associated applications can also be shared. Collaborative whiteboards, videos, PDFs... So much is possible.
As a mini use case, imaging opening a shared browser in WL. This provides for novel and interesting distance learning configurations. A Blackboard or Sakai discussion board could be opened and used as a point of departure for virtual discussion. A PowerPoint slideshow could be presented at a distance and learners could have the opportunity to ask questions and receive feedback in real-time. Simulations could be incorporated for experiential learning. Three dimensional, collaborative concept mapping could also be incorporated. Again, so much is possible. This makes WL a truly exciting learning platform.

Twitter is smart to reject Facebook and go it alone
-
at least in my own usage experiences, the Tweets and the Facebook status updates are very different. Facebook is sort of the place where I share details of my life with friends and other acquaintances - people that I’ve invited and accepted into my world. Twitter is the place where I sort of just broadcast out to anyone who cares to listen.
