Google's Own Second Life?
Today The Arizona Republic notes an interesting rumor: Google is reportedly working to create a virtual world that will rival Second Life, and the company may be testing the project at Arizona State University.
So far, details are scant. But the university is now soliciting students with video-gaming experience for an unspecified software-testing project. And since the questionnaire Arizona State is sending to student applicants asks if they have Gmail accounts, speculation is rampant.
Tech bloggers and Arizona State students might be excited about the project, but skeptics are already lining up: The Motley Fool has weighed in with a column titled “Don’t Do It, Google.” —Brock Read
