They can build brand awareness/loyalty, test new concepts/designs and generally push their marketing in an innovative way. But because Santos isn’t a retail brand I can’t see there would be much benefit in the company establishing itself in Second Life – apart from as a general profile-raising exercise. I can see real business benefits to podcasting and blogging, especially internally, but I have to say Second Life doesn't make it onto my communications wish list for Santos.

The biggest hassle with SL is the time it takes to be involved, especially when you are at the opposite time of the day from the vast majority of your colleagues (hence why you will find me sitting alone, but a snapshot by Bryan shows several people in the cafe stall) Having spent many hours setting up the Cafe stall, I am looking to take ANYTHING to the bank, Bry!! :-)

Here's the post: http://www.bryper.com/2006/07/25/cq-pq-iq/ Indefatigable is one of those "50-cent words," as my high school English teacher used to say. So ... uhm ... our combined blogging value for the two posts is a whopping $1.00! Let's take THAT to the bank :) Lee:
