Justification: SimOnAStick

A while back in March this year, I blogged about how you can store a virtual world on a USB stick, and distribute it, just like a word document for commenting. This was intended as an article to break down the notion that you always have to think of a virtual world as a cloud service, it can be considered to be just like a local document that can be annotated.

Well, there is now a web site call SimOnAStick, where they literally provide a distribution of OpenSim and the Impromptu Viewer to fit onto a USB stick.

I told you I was right. :-)

Article: When is a virtual world not a virtual world? When it is a document

I have just had an article published on the Technology Management Portal about using Virtual Worlds as documents, not just as cloud servers. Not really an academic piece, just me thinking out loud about the business usage of Virtual Worlds.
