"Today Avaya launched its "web.alive" product that it acquired as part of Nortel—an environment to allow people to collaborate virtually from any location. While it's not quite VWorld from the TV show, Caprica, my time spent in web.alive was interesting and eye opening and I thought I would share my experience," writes Yankee Group SVP Zeus Kerravala on the No Jitter blog.

"Avaya's web.alive is a virtual world where each individual creates his or her own avatar and walks around and interacts with people virtually.
