A follow-up on World AIDS Day in Second Life
On the Linden Lab blog, Pathfinder Linden has written on the successful World AIDS Day initiative in Second Life, run by the Karuna organisation. He’s coined the phrase ‘Ecosystems of Support’ and it’s very fitting for initatives like this.
Over the past six months, there’s been a significant momentum build in regards to health and virtual worlds, and certainly support networks are pivotal within that development. The challenge is convincing the wider circle of health professionals, individuals seeking help or support and their families / friends that virtual worlds offer another option that can make a real difference.
