They're definitely onto something, ... but at the same time, I find that 
after obsessing on it for a week, I find I've not revisited the world

I'm not sure. I expect the easiest way would be for you to locate a SL 
enthusiast around W3C/MIT and peer over their shoulder as they take a

etc could eat and afternoon or evening easily...

I'll have a look at the MeetingPod myself, maybe I can summarise
