Sweden To Open Second Life Embassy

The Internet fantasy game world of Second Life, which has approximately 3 million users the world over, is getting just a little closer real life. You may remember that last month a Spanish non-profit organization created an avatar in Second Life to raise awareness about children in need. Well now governments want to tap the Second Life world in order get out their message and information. Sweden will be the first country to open a virtual embassy in Second Life. The Swedish government says the online embassy will function as "an information portal for Sweden."
