boston to build avatar of itself in second life

From the Boston Globe:

"Close your eyes and imagine this dream of the future: a place where you can stand in line to pay parking tickets, visit an auditorium where the mayor is giving a speech, or drop in on a meeting where planning officials are wrestling with development plans.

You might be forgiven if you think that doesn't sound like a very exciting dream. Or if you think the place already exists, in a concrete building at Government Center.

But Boston officials aren't talking about the real City Hall. They want to build a new, virtual one in the animated online world of Second Life, where users create digital images of themselves and live alternate lives, working virtual jobs, attending virtual nightclubs, and chatting with other virtual people..."
