Business Intelligence Network Opens Online Facility in Second Life

BOULDER, CO, Mar 31 (MARKET WIRE) --
Maintaining their position as an innovative online publication, Business
Intelligence Network(TM) (www.BeyeNETWORK.com) has launched BeyeLAND, a Second
Life(R) island dedicated to furthering the interactions of the business
intelligence
(BI) and data warehousing (DW) communities. With this investment, BeyeNETWORK
becomes
the first BI publication to have a presence in the Second Life online world.

Second Life is a 3-D virtual world specifically geared to enable a far
greater level of interaction and community than you can generally get from a
standard website. Total residents currently number more than 12 million and
membership is free.

"We pride ourselves as being early adopters and while virtual worlds are
still a maturing space, it was important to us to provide professional
facilities and
a place for the community to interact to further extend our already dominant
presence in the BI marketplace," said Shawn Rogers, cofounder and editorial
director of the Business Intelligence Network. "Our island will be open to
vendors
and readers alike who want to meet and discuss topics specific to our
industry."

BeyeLAND is 64 acres of virtual land that includes a large auditorium for
group meetings, smaller meeting facilities and will soon house key
elementsof the Business Intelligence Network content archives. In addition,
there is
an area allocated for vendors to host information kiosks for island visitors.
The Network is looking forward to partnering with vendors from the BI space
who would like to have a presence in Second Life.
