The Flickr page of Linden Lab employee Pathfinder Linden has the pic above, of a Second Life recreation of Harvard University’s Austin Hall, where Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society holds many of its events. In this case, the hall is being recreated for the 2006 Beyond Broadcast conference on May 12th and 13th, which will explore the transition from traditional broadcast media to blogs, podcasting, social software and other current modes of communication. Video and and audio of the event will be streamed live to the SL Austin Hall. You can read more details here, and click in the SLurlPane at the top of the right column here to visit the virtual Austin Hall, while the link lasts. Or just click here [<– SL link].
