Academic Networking: Academia.edu

The Academia.edu site encourages discovery and networking among scholars. There is already a section created for ITP. Its tree-like structure unfolds and connects in interesting ways. You can search by institution, name, or research topic.
As with any Web presence, it is up to you if you wish to be findable in this way. For now I am not adding my name to this resource--I want to see how it develops a bit more first, but I may do so in the future.
Please Note: There seemed to be some glitches when I looked at it today. Let's see if they can work out the glitches.

Second Life

Second Life is a virtual Web environment where you create an avatar who moves and interacts with others on various virtual islands. I have been watching this environment develop for some time now. It takes the psychological nature of fantasy to a new level. You can be whoever or whatever you want to be. You can fly. You can interact with people around the world. You can create a perfect space. And people do.
Are any of you in Second Life? Please share your thoughts about the transpersonal aspects, if you see there are any, of this new kind of environment.
