Lotusphere to go

If, like me, you didn't get to Lotusphere but have an interest in the software stack you might be able to catch one of these. I'm going to make an effort to get to the London one, although there's no details on it at the time of posting.

IBM Lotusphere Comes to You 2008

Lotusphere Comes to You is a premier event series featuring new and timely presentations designed to bring anyone who couldn't get to Orlando the critical messages and the excitement they missed.

Is IBM snubbing Second Life

I didn't pay much attention to the use of Second Life at Lotusphere 2007, so I don't really know what sort of reception it had. However, I thought this year might be good time to give it a go, as much to have the SL experience as to learn something about the Lotus products.

However, as far as I can see there is no SL Lotusphere 2008, which means that IBM didn't get enough from 2007 to make it worth their while this year. What's more interesting is the complete silence on the matter. I've done a little digging to see if anyone is talking about it and nothing!

What does this say about using Second Life for business? Something to avoid?

Update: Someone pointed out this post, so it appears that IBM was doing stuff in SL after all, but with no fuss. Odd!
