Edward Castronova is believed to be the world’s leading researcher on virtual world economies. Recently, in a post on Terra Nova, the ultimate blog offering news and opinions regarding the social, economic, legal, psychological, and political aspects of these worlds, Castronova, reporting on the recent security breach in SL, asked himself the question: “Is 3D [...]
Societies and communities have their own “backgrounds”. Although Second Life® does not have equivalent concepts to “skills”, “levels” or “experience”, commonly found on massive multiplayer online games (MMOGs), there is a single difference between a brand new resident and an older one: you’ll be familiar with the complexity of relationships inside Second Life, and, most [...]
I don’t know if this is the first time ever if Second Life gets listed as a “country” in a website, but this is deliberate. Arin & Susan have arranged to have their feature movie to be premiered in Second Life… provided that there is enough interest for that. As an indie production, the team [...]

Sadly, this is the sort of company that still believes that the [...]
After finishing a 2-month-long marathon to make a “proof of concept” machinima using Second Life for a customer, I just saw this post on the Official Linden Blog. Yes, for four days you’ll be able to get a valid license key of Poser 5 in your name.
Although Content Paradise is famous for doing [...]
Well… here it is. My blog gets a new look, and more important than that, it gets a brand new engine running in the background.
Two years ago, when I started writing these articles, I had to pick a weblogging engine. I’ve evaluated a few, and almost all were very limited, primitive, and rather inflexible — [...]
