# Don Tapscott, author of Wikinomics, Launches Book in Second Life

I received a press release this morning that I’ve summarized below.

(http://www.rabble.ca) is holding a book launch in Second Life for Don Tapscott of Wikinomics fame.

Quote: Don Tapscott has given a lot of talks in a lot of places in his career as a writer and businessman, but never one in another world. On Tuesday April 10th at 6:00 PT (9:00 ET) Don Tapscott will appear in “avatar” form at the rabble.ca home in the virtual world of Second Life to discuss his book Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything (Penguin).

I can’t make my Fashionista shopping day today in SL so I think a book launch tomorrow will allow me to get my SL fix for the week. Ooo, I wonder if I should try changing my hair again …

(http://www.rabble.ca) is a pretty cool online space. I haven’t been to the site for awhile so this SL thing is a good reason for me to venture forth into their virtual world. The Rabble folks have developed an online book club and book lounge, and now a Second Life home on Canadian-owned “Better World Island,” which, according to the press release, also hosts CARE International, the Peace and Justice Centre, the Centre for Water Studies among other NGOs and non-profits.

Teleport to the book launch Tuesday April 10th at 6:00 PT (9:00 ET) by clicking this link:

See you there. I’ll be the one wearing curtains.
