On November 15th, Social Media Club Austin will meet and Second Life will be the topic for the meeting. David Neff, from the American Cancer Society, and Laura Thomas, from Dell, will share their organizations’ experiences and maybe even show us around their islands.

Some of the rest of us may share where we’ve been hanging out in SL as well. We will gather at our regular meeting time of 6 pm, with the program starting at 6:30.

Second Life is a fascinating and unproven form of social media to many. Is it the future of the internet? The American Cancer Society is having great fundraising success in SL. Dell is very aggressive in SL, as are many other major companies. Ultimately, we all will decide its success. So join us on the 15th for a live demonstration in which you can participate by bringing your own laptops. If you want to come and just watch, that’s perfectly acceptable too.

This meeting is free, thanks to the good people at nFusion (map attached), but we need to know you’re coming. Please let us know by commenting on this post or emailing us at chapmanmd@gmail.com. Our goal is to be as inclusive as possible and to continue to create an open community of people who share a common interest in social media.

Please RSVP if you are interested in attending this special presentation, which takes place at 5000 Plaza on the Lake (Suite 200).

Neff is helping to organize the “Future of Volunteers: Adapt or Die” panel t the 2008 SXSW Interactive Festival.
