First off, your blog is impeccable (yes we can say that in English). Your posts maintain a superior quality of writing and are incredibly interesting (I always learn a lot).
About Second Life, I’m pretty uncomfortable about this app because companies started to think it could be a bridge between recreative/ virtual life and real / professional life. But when you think of people trying to get a job through Second Life, I mean, it’s really unbelievable and sort of surrealistic.

I got the same question as Erwan : is that really efficient or just important in terms of image ?

Truly second life is a new communication tool however, it is clear that as it is new, poeple are very keen on it and we may over estimate his real impact on the society.
As regards the recruitment for instance : there was only one serious candidate and he was not hired.
Therefore, we should be more critical about this trends ! The buzz created by trend setters and corporation is not always legitimate !
