Mentions of serious applications of SL in UK: several (good)Noticed a couple of news items about SL in the UK, namely:
** Sussex University has its own campus: in RL I was library assistant there for a year, and the SL version is SPOOKILY like the real thing (pictured here). In fact the Sussex architecture is rather suited to SL since it is angular but distinctive: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/

** Liverpool Hope University evidently thinks that having an open day in SL is worth a press release: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/

** Eloise Pasteur noticed that the UK Government is defending its use of SL: http://eloisepasteur.net/blog/

Um, Liverpool Hope was 2008. I don't know whether they are repeating it.
Oops, that will teach me to be INFORMATION LITERATE and read the dates on the "more like this" headlines on the BBC news site. I suppose that kind of thing is only news the first time around.
Ooh! Suddenly realised Liverpool Hope seems to have left SL or decided to hide.
