Introducing Ogoglio

The virtual world project Ogoglio was founded in May 2006 by Trevor Smith, formerly of Xerox PARC, who describes it as

exploring shared online worlds in the context of web enabled work. If World of Warcraft is "the new golf", then we're exploring "the new business district". We are creating spaces where people will meet with remote coworkers, collaborate using new tools, integrate existing business applications, and enjoy the benefits of being in the same office with people in different time zones.
Unlike existing platforms like Second Life or World of Warcraft, Ogoglio's platforms are open and "web native." They're designed to integrate with existing work practices, desktop applications, and web services.

His recent interview with Urizenus Sklar of Second Life Herald is available as text or podcast.
