Mysterious news on the Millions of Us blog this evening: it seems there's now a Microsoft island in the virtual world of Second Life.
At least, that's what the »teleport link« in the blog entry implies. And indeed, Microsoft has a build set up on its island devoted to Visual Studio - though it's not clear what the rest of the island is for. And then there's the blimp, which Millions of Us clearly wants us to be interested in, especially judging from the teaser video. It's a pretty nice blimp, actually - although if you get too close to it, it first gives you a security warning, and then teleports you to your home location!
More will be revealed at a launch event at 6pm SL Time (9pm Eastern) on Thursday, 10 May. Until then, it's interesting to note Microsoft's presence in Second Life.
Various people from Microsoft initiatives like Channel 9 have set up shop in Second Life, and a mad Microsoft marketer chose some interesting spots to make the launch of Vista, but 3pointD think this may be the first big Microsoft presence in SL. Hard to tell what it means coming out of such a sprawling company, but it will be interesting to watch. Especially if there's something good in that blimp.
