With interest around virtual worlds hotting up again, silicon.com made another expedition into Second Life to check out what some of the world's biggest businesses are getting up to.

There are organisations from a huge range of sectors plying their trade in Second Life in interesting and unusual ways. Meanwhile tech companies who jumped into Second Life at the beginning are continuing to experiment with the medium.

This is Nasa's CoLab where people can find out about Nasa and participate in community meetings every Tuesday to decide how exactly the space is used.
