Sweden to Establish “Embassy” in Second Life
Posted Friday, January 26th, 2007, at 4:21 pm Eastern by Mark Wallace
The Virtual Economy Research Network flags a report from a Swedish newspaper (in Swedish, of course) to the effect that Sweden will establish an official “embassy” in the virtual world of Second Life. “the facility will not deal with passports or visa applications like a normal embassy, but rather acts as a marketing outpost for Sweden designed to reach the digital generation. The idea is being developed at Swedish Institute instead of the Ministry of foreign affairs,” VERN reports. And why not? If it works for CBS, it could well work for Sweden.

Actually, Mark, I think the distinction for 1st country to set up this kind of presence in SL would have to be Morocco : http://www.rikomatic.com/blog/2007/01/meet_me_at_the_.html
Do you see the word “first” in the above post, Rik? :)
Looks like your Morocco post landed while I was away. Thanks for including the link.
Sorry Mark. It was all the other coverage mentioning that Sweden was “first” I was reacting to.
