The United States Congress has finally gone virtual! A subcommittee meeting of the House of Representatives was held yesterday on children's safety in virtual worlds. However, this meeting is a first for Congress as it was also simulcast on Second Life. People that logged in on Second Life to watch the meeting were able to be seen on television screens scattered around the meeting room by the people that were in DC, while the people from Second Life could watch the meeting through a screen in the room.

This meeting wasn't entirely serious, however; the people watching from their computers were chatting away about various topics while the representatives in the meeting were joking about trying to figure out how to reach the next level in World of Warcraft.
