IBM opens New Virtual IBM Business Center in Second Life

Posted by Marshall on May 15, 2007 | Link It

There's an IBM Second Life Project that officially lauched today that I've been working as a metrics analyst for, called the IBM Business Center in Second Life and there is an official IBM Press Release that went out earlier today - Live IBM Sales People to Staff New Virtual IBM Business Center.  

Here's a YouTube Video of part of the IBM Business Center in Second Life posted by Ian Hughes over at Eightbar

To visit the new virtual IBM Business Center go to http://slurl.com/secondlife/IBM%20Business%20Center////

I'm sure, in the coming days there will be a lot more coverage of the IBM's Business Center in Second Life - and I'll be measuring both buzz, brand presence, and many internal measurements.  

I have some ideas about how to track the value of Virtual World projects - it's just an overall framework (this is a web analytics blog - my focus is on the analytics and metrics).

    1. In World activity monitored via in world Analytics
    2. Tracking Punchthroughs using url Tagging - standard analytics
    3. lead generation

Note: Just want to point out, for the record,  I'm not an IBM employee, but a subcontractor for IBM, doing Web Analytics, and nothing I say here represents IBM policy.
