The World Economic Forum in Davos is all about blogging and social media this year, with content centralized at the Davos Conversation site, with contributions from people like Ben Hammersley from the Guardian, Jeff Jarvis of BuzzMachine, Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post.

But conversation is also taking place face to face in the Reuters auditorium in Second Life, prompting discussion about Davos between some people who would otherwise have to sneak past the armed guards that have saturated this Swiss mountain town.

Pictured below: luemmel Lemmon of the WEF protest group DaDavos. (The group has a beautifully designed logo, which is displayed on his placard and can also be seen on the website.) Luemmel is talking to a guy whose name I missed, but who is perfectly dressed to fit in here among the suits.
