Hello everyone. It's good to see SL Africa extend into this platform.

My daughter and son-in-law have a video production company in Tanzania. I'm active in SL and Openlife, and I'm interested in how virtual worlds can be beneficial to African countries.

The launch of the much anticipated SEACOM cable happens in 62 days in Africa. It will change the face of internet access and do a lot for digital divide. We are excited. It is the beginning of growth of Africans into virtual worlds..

I'm delighted to announce that Tamsin Barzane's innovative interactive exhibition, The Middle Passage Experience, has now relocated to a permanent home on solipCISM. A role-play 'serious game' in which participants assume the identities of enslaved Africans, this is a dramatic and deeply moving educational installation that puts a very human face on the history of the Atlantic Slave Trade. Please visit the exhibition at http://slurl.com/secondlife/SolipCISM/218/243/23
