If last summer was the summer for early adoption of blog and podcast tools, in the web 2.0 world, this is the summer of voice messaging, skypecasting and video production. Three dimensional worlds such as Second Life are also gaining momentum, as the pace of change accelerates and just recent innovations such as music on IPODS, static web pages and discussion boards look very 2004.
Wagner James Au over at New World Notes points out an entertaining YouTube video, "Suzanne’s Guitar" which depicts the fast-forwarded step by step construction of a Second Life virtual guitar designed for Suzanne Vega. RobbieDingo, the creator of the guitar machinima, also authored a dramatic video, where actors play upon a three dimensional stage in Second Life. Have a look at the two videos. The first will stimulate your brain and the second may touch your heart.
