I think the best way to avoid this fragmentation is to simply "eat our 
own dogfood."

We made an attempt at that yesterday with the mashup of three SL worlds 
via a chatbridge, plus
the mp3 stream and jabber, but we need to do more.

However it fell short of what we could have done with a bit more work. 
We desparately need
regular teleconferencing via our various worlds, sharing as many data 
streams as possible, even
without any "virtual worlds" aspect to it.

Just a 2-way TV monitor on the wall would be fun. I don't expect 
holographic projections for a while,
though of course, that should come as well.
