 Doug Thompson (Dusan Writer) kicked off Beta Business Park's 2009 "Leadership in Business" Conference with a lively discussion on building value for real-world businesses looking to enter the virtual world.
Thompson, CEO of Remedy Communications and the driving force behind Metanomics.net, told the audience that he found Second Life by accident.
A longtime fan of The Sims game, he was looking for a release date for Spore when he stumbled upon Philip Rosedale's new project. At first, he saw it as "a really cool version of the Sims," but later realized it was a "transformational" event in his life and his career.

 When Paul D'Ambrosio (Nicolo Anthony) partnered with Second Life's Deaf Republic in hosting a virtual installation of the 19th Century deaf portrait artist John Brewster's work, he had no idea what a wild ride it would turn out to be.
Deaf Republic built a beautiful sim based on Brewster's Maine home, complete with a floating gallery space devoted to some of his portraits. But one day, D'Ambrosio checked in on the sim and found he had a new virtual neighbor -- a brothel -- forcing him to build a high wall around the house. Then, radical deaf culturalists began to complain about what they saw as a non-deaf incursion in their community. Eventually, the owner who had donated the gallery space was forced to sell the sim.
