Fast, Easy & Fun!
Search for “Fast Easy Fun Second Life” in Google, and you get two million results. By now, it’s quite hard to believe that anyone vaguely familiar with Second Life hasn’t heard the new motto, launched by Philip Linden during his Town Hall meeting last Friday (July 30, 2010). If you missed all the fun, you can still watch the archived video stream from Treet.TV. If, like me, you’re too lazy…
On the multi-cultural environment of Second Life
I wrote a short article on meta-culture and the multi-cultural environment in SL for a new blog/magazine for Portuguese speakers called “Convergences Magazine”. It’s an intriguing project by Gper Aeon and Gabriela Pinelli, mixing art, culture, and philosophy about and around Second Life. If you’re fine in reading Portuguese, or don’t mind the awkward translations provided by Google Translate, you’re welcome to take a peek at it If there is…
On the Second Life 2.0 Viewer Revolution…
A few reasons why the SL 2.0 viewer will revolutionise Second Life (even though many might not like the change) on my other blog Send article as PDF to
Is Philip Linden really leaving?
Is Linden Lab losing their vision, or at least their visionary? Without his resident visionary, will Linden Lab develop Second Life® further to reach the goal of becoming “a marketplace that could sustain hundreds of millions of players” and “[...] connect us all to an online world that advances the human condition“? … what’s going on with Second Life? These are some questions I’ve written about on my other blog….
Second Life’s New Red Light District
I’m sure that most of you have seen by now LL’s latest blog post about the upcoming changes in the rules for Adult Content in Second Life®. This is one of those cases where there is no “right” or “wrong” way to address the issue: depending on your country’s laws, your own morality, your stance towards freedom of expression, your business use of Second Life, or your position as an…
Valleywag shuts down but still publishes another doomsday prediction of Second Life
Hiro Pendragon pointed me to the latest bit of Valleywag nonsense, where you can see that once more the End of Second Life® is predicted, falsely claiming that everybody has lost interest in SL except educators. I was angry when publishing the comment which I reprint below (because, well, if I were a moderator at Valleywag I would probably refuse to publish it), but thankfully Hiro was quick enough to…
Petition to Linden Lab on the Policy of Trademark Enforcement
Introduction Linden Research Inc., a company incorporated in Delaware, United States of America (“Linden”), doing business as Linden Lab®, developers of the Second Life® virtual world platform, owners of not only the Second Life® registered trademark (in the US, Europe, and other countries), and the eye-on-hand logo, but also of several recently registered trademarks (including, but not exclusive, to the words “SL”, “SL Grid”, “Second Life Grid”, “2nd Life”, etc.),…
Linden Lab® Becomes Virtual (Real?) Bank
[Sorry everybody, but this was (perhaps not obviously!) my April Fool's joke! — Gwyn] Some of you might have heard my rants about the bad service provided by the ever-so-popular PayPal, to the extent that I start to believe some of these hate sites. After going through cancellation of my account, losing some money in a few transactions (actually, buying L$ on the LindeX), my frustration with how PayPal works…
