Link to press release

GAIN, the Graphic Arts Information Network, a unit of PIA/GATF, has established a training facility in the virtual world Second Life.

Quote:

Within [Second Life], printers are able to hold meetings, train employees, interview job applicants, promote themselves to hundreds of thousands of potential customers, and even sell virtual products and services for real money in the Second Life marketplace, which generates over $1 Million per month. The possibilities are endless.

I'm not sure how realistic it is for a printer to try and sell stuff from a virtual world - but the training scheme sounds promising.
