  • More interesting reaction to UGS in SL

    Web Worker Daily » Blog Archive Do You Need a Second Life? « Coca-Cola, UGS, and Reuters, it’s been the subject of much press coverage in the last few years. Nice to see us mentioned in the same breath as Coke and Reuters. Fallen Angel dvdrip

  • Day 1 of UGS in Second Life

    The reaction to the launch of UGS Innovation Connection in Second Life has been very positive so far. It seems that most people in world ‘get’ why we would want to be there and are giving us a chance. It also was evident that after a 3 minute demo at our user group yesterday even…

    I reached a milestone last week and celebrated my 10 year service anniversary with SDRC/EDS/UGS/(Siemens). I received a nice package during the ‘ceremony” (it was a group dinner at the hotel we were staying at for the staff meeting) that has a letter in it with instructions for me to claim my award.
