Virtual ‘Third Places’
Ray Oldenburg coined the phrase ‘Third Place. ‘
Third places, then, are "anchors" of community life and facilitate and foster broader, more creative interaction.
Oldenburg calls one's "first place" the home and those that one lives with. The "second place" is the workplace — where people may actually spend most of their time.
Creating virtual third places where we can interact with prospects across a variety of platforms.
