Virtual Worlds deliver a better experience for a fraction of the cost. They enable a wide range of collaborative behaviors beyond talking and looking at each other. They’re as mobile as your PC (or some of the high-end phones). They’re also much more inclusive, because the software can be installed on any reasonably powerful PC in minutes. Try adding a customer, consultant or auditor to your TiLR session and see how how the meeting rapidly regresses to an audio-only conference.

[...] And some of us have the luxury to do this thing we like to call WFH (or work from home). Well, TechCrunch had a post about a product that may solve some of your WFH issues (such as not being around to physically say [...]

Sounds cool. But imagine a meeting where perhaps 2 people are actually in the meeting and 10 aren’t but have TiLRs. Those 2 people would witness what would be bumper-cars of the future.
