Every month, Web innovators and those who promote social change congregate in a shared effort to bring the social Web to nonprofits and NGOs all over the world.

July's Net Tuesday will feature a presentation about how nonprofits can use Second Life, a multiplayer community on the Web. In Second Life, users create their own characters (called avatars) and help build a virtual 3D world.

Susan Tenby, Online Community Manager of TechSoup.org, and Jeska Dzwigalski, Community Manager at Linden Lab, (the company that created and runs Second Life), will present a tour of this online community and demo a directory of nonprofit organizations in the Second Life world.

The event will simultaneously occur both virtually, in Second Life and in the physical world.
