Estonia moves to Second Life
We learn from different press sources that Estonia, the tiny but extremely tech savvy north European country, has just launched a virtual embassy at Second Life. The virtual embassy is said to have a conference room, an exhibition room, a reception hall and a technology room, where Estonia as an e-nation is introduced.
Estonia, a former Soviet Republic with just 1,3 million people, is known for its leadership in implementing a real national digital strategy. Many intiatives in this field have taken place in the last few years, with the development of an e-state and an e-government.
In this context. this virtual embassy, is not just an exotic curiosity with interest for only some freak internet fans; initiatives like this could be setting the roots for a new way of conducting international relations between states and people.
We will keep writing about these topics.
