Sweden to open ‘Second Life’ embassy
By
Sweden plans to be the first country to open an embassy in the popular virtual world Second Life. “It will have answers to questions on all aspects of Sweden,” Olle Wastberg, general director of the Swedish Institute, an organization that promotes the country’s image abroad, said Tuesday.
The embassy will be called House of Sweden and will be modeled on the country’s new embassy in Washington. It will open in a couple of weeks. Second Life, created by Linden Lab, opened to the public in 2003. The publisher says the online world now has more than 3 million inhabitants from around the globe.
