From the virtual inventions desk, comes this cute mashup of Second Life and Twitter — a giant typewriter has been created in the virtual world of SL that allows users to type 140 characters of fun onto virtual paper and also cross-post to Twitter.

Hardly utilitarian, but definitely amusing. And the perfect platform for virtual haiku.

Now residing at The Pencil Factory, The Port. Originally created for Penguin last year, this giant typewriter publishes to Twitter. Touch to type, or sit on the keys to type in capitals. Feel free to create upto 140 characters of nonsense or poetic gems. Once you've typed it, touch the carriage return lever - to publish to - http://twitter.com/SLtypewriter and also onto the virtual paper.
