Avatars of the world unite!
A single demonstrator has broken through the World Economic Forum’s otherwise thorough security cordon, sneaking past rows of efficient guards to wave a large anti-Davos placard right in the temple itself.
Ok, so he’s an avatar (online alter ego). But he still did it. luemmel Lemmon of the WEF protest group DaDavos walked into the Second Life virtual auditorium where Adam Reuters has been interviewing avatars of Davos participants. No security there, and barely any rules either.
Lemmon sat politely with his banner in the front row. Rather wonderfully, as our picture (left) shows, he chose to sit next to one of the few avatars choosing to wear a suit.

Have there been any streakers on Second Life yet? Or protesting samba bands?
As for your question about what to call a babble of bloggers, what about a bubble of bloggers? Or a blob of bloggers…
Not sure about streakers or sambanistas. Try SL. Sure it will happen if it hasn’t already. Cheers.
