ABC presence in Second Life

I have already posted about San Francisco's Exploratorium science museum buying an island in the virtual reality world Second Life. Well Aunty has also established a presence in this VR world. At some stage I may need to download and sign up to find out what the buzz is about... perhaps when my First (real) Life has a spare several days!

they have a slide show so you can get a feel of the island. Aunty is being very proactive in the digital age, I heard from Ian Mannix (ABC radio) that they are one of the largest providers of podcasts in the world. The younger generation would be familiar with their vodcast of popular programs such as The Chaser and Summer Heights High, but you can also snag shows like Catalyst, Can We Help and First Tuesday Book Club. Hooray! My reception for ABC is pathetic making it impossible for me to watch Catalyst.

Now to set my podcatcher to catch these programs while I sleep....
