Applications for Second Life Enterprise

When Linden Lab announced the marketplace for its Second Life Enterprise (SLE) product they positioned it as being a place to sell both content and applications.

What kinds of APPLICATIONS do you think make the most sense for enterprise looking to use virtual environments? What does SLE need to integrate with? What kinds of apps will companies/schools/governments be looking for?

My idea of an 'ideal SLE app' is....

    1. Data visualization

      Any kind of plug&play data visualization system that allows you to install a region and a Web-side app which can then be cross-tabbed to internal corporate data (e.g. sales figures, say) and which then displays some kind of in-world prims/visualization tool.

      May or may not be dependent on the MediaAPI

            • Blog widgets - Wordpress, Expression Engine etc

              Widget that can be easily plugged in to blog engines that allows in-world display of posts (maybe a tick box? "Display in virtual environment"?) and the ability to comment on those posts in-world with the results being displayed on the blog itself. For use by enterprise who have internal CMS systems based on blog software like Wordpress or Expression Engine.

                • Integration with JIVE

                  Look at the JIVE API, such as with Clearspace, and figure out how a "Go3D" button might work for enterprise using JIVE either internally or externally. No idea what other integration ideas might work, but JIVE seems like a large enterprise app.

                    • In world data manipulation with export

                      The main advantage of virtual worlds (IMHO) is when we use them fort team based simultaneous content creation and manipulation- brainstorming, defining strategy, discussing new requirements, reviewing action plans - where everyone 'in the room' can participate. The format for this is not a speadsheet that one person updates while everyone else watches- it might be a wall where people can put sticky notes, an in world white board to scribble on, a way for everyone to record action items etc. But then I have to be able to take the results out of the virtual world in a form… more

                      • In-world profiles linked to company e-mail.

                        Not sure if this is an 'app' exactly - but some kind of better integration of e-mail and in-world messaging instead of just an auto "send to email" thing for IMs.
