CDC in Second Life November 13, 2006 - by Ian Bogost In case you didn't hear, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located right here in Atlanta where I live, is the latest government group to open up shop in Second Life. Sounds like they're mostly using it for public outreach and social marketing, that favorite topic of my friend Liz Losh. Comment from Matthew on November 14, 2006
Wow, this is incredible how far Second Life is going. Who'd have thought these big Government organisations would have got involved? Not me anyway. Matthew Comment from Elizabeth Losh on November 18, 2006
Nedra Weinreich of the Spare Change social marketing blog has been doing some interesting work on the CDC in Second Life including an interview that explains the project's rationale at http://www.social-marketing.com/blog/2006/11/cdcs-second-life.html POST A COMMENT
