Skoll Podcast 4: Mitch Kapor: The 1-2-3 Entrepreneur's Second Life
In the fourth of SustainAbility’s Skoll Program podcasts, John Elkington interviews Mitch Kapor, who chairs Linden Lab (which is behind the ‘Second Life’ virtual world) and the Mozilla Foundation. But he is perhaps best remembered for being the man behind the Lotus Development Corporation and Lotus 1-2-3.
Among the topics:
How Reuters now have a dedicated correspondent for the Second Life newsbeat; how it was used at Davos 2007; the world of the avatar; how such virtual environments and related tools might be used for future stakeholder engagement; and Kapor’s own perspectives on the sustainability agenda.
