For readers who are interested in what activities that Governments are involved in with respect to virtual worlds, you may wish to visit the Federal Consortium of Virtual Worlds. The presentations, videos and other information posted there will provide readers with a view into how different agencies are using virtual worlds for training; networking, modeling, research and communication. You’ll also get a sense of which private sector companies are meeting these demands.

Another place you may wish to check out is the Digital Ontario Island in Second Life. There are various kiosks and buildings that users can visit which cover things such as tourism and investment opportunities (personally I think the Muskoka chairs are a nice touch).
