An overview of how social media and Second Life can be used to productively network. Prominent recent examples involving Deepak Singh, Bora Zivkovic, Beth Ritter-Guth and others will be highlighted. Then Second Life content that enables collaboration, especially in chemistry, will be detailed. The presentation ends with an example of hyper-networking using FriendFeed.
