Today, IBM is introducing a new social media monitoring tool, one that it says will measure consumer sentiment from data gathered on Twitter, blogs and other web services and networks. The software, called the SPSS Modeler data mining and text analytics workbench, will use natural language processing (NLP) to analyze everything from product names and industry jargon to slang and emoticons, and it's already being used by some pretty big businesses.
Navy Federal Credit Union, Rosetta Stone and Money Mailer are already using IBM's software to understand how consumers feel about their brands, products and competitors. This software can also be put to good use by political groups, marketing and advertising agencies, research firms and many other organizations and businesses. Data from the social web can also be merged with internal data to create even more accurate intelligence about consumers, IBM says. 3D Model Interoperability in Second Life « The ARCH. 3D Model Interoperability in Second Life July 11, 2008, 9:44 pm Filed under: 3D model import and export, architect, architectural resources, interoprability, rl architecture, second life | Tags: .3ds, .dwg, 3d model, 3D Studio, export, import, interoperability, jira, Linden Lab, maya, obj, second life, SVC-2634 We really, really need your help on this one!
I am confident that if the readers of this blog collectively vote as a unified voice to push 3D Model Interoperability as a priority item for Linden Lab, we will be heard. You all know that Importing and exporting models is currently the biggest bottleneck preventing architects and designers from using Second Life as a tool in professional practice, and Linden Lab’s public Jira system is the perfect way for us to make it clear that this is a must have feature. So, please, please, please take a minute and log in to Jira and vote on the following issue: Spread the word! Like this: Like Loading... Bridging virtual worlds is the wrong answer: Techcrunch : Kzero. Techcrunch is running an article discussing the recent IBM/Linden Lab announcementaboutachievingavatar portability between Second Life and an OpenSim server.
Whilst this is technical proof that porting is possible, Techcrunch suggests this approach is actually the wrong one and I tend to agree. Extract: Interoperability between virtual worlds is fine, and is definitely a step towards breaking down the walled gardens they are increasingly finding themselves in. But ultimately it is the wrong answer. What we really need is interoperability between virtual worlds and the Web. I wrote quite a long time ago about Outeroperability – using cross-world portability via a centralised web hub as opposed to from world to world. IBM And Second Life Announce Interoperability, But Bridging Virtual Worlds Is the Wrong Answer. Virtual worlds like Second Life have a silo issue—they are virtual worlds unto themselves. Today, Linden Lab (which operates Second Life) and IBM announced that they have successfully bridged two virtual worlds, with avatars from Second Life successfully “teleporting” to an entirely different metaverse based on an OpenSim server.
The two companies have been working together on the Open Grid Protocol to allow for interoperability between virtual worlds. In a post on the Second Life blog, Hamilton Linden explains: An open standard for interoperability based on the Open Grid Protocol would allow users to cross freely from one world to another, just as they can go from one Web site to another on the Internet today. Here’s a video showing the avatars “teleporting” from one world (i.e. set of computer servers) to another: Interoperability between virtual worlds is fine, and is definitely a step towards breaking down the walled gardens they are increasingly finding themselves in.
