New Official Second Life Blog(s)!

Second Life's New Blogs

Oh yes, they’re here! As promised, with a few delays, Linden Lab finally released their new communication vehicle for the masses: a series of blogs under an unifying theme, with several categories — Features, Community, Working Inworld, Technology, Land and Sea, and Press. Not quite the way the Old Blogs were structured (where each Linden willing to blog about SL had their own personal space), but definitely a difference for the one-size-fits-all blog so far. Hopefully this will allow a lot more interaction!

The new design is clean, neat, modern, minimalist (as it’s currently the fashion), and, frankly, it does look good. You log in with your SL account to post comments, so there is no way you are truly anonymous as before: if you wish not to reveal your information when commenting, you have no choice but to comment under an alt. Gone is WordPress too — the new blog system uses Jivespace. I guess the choice was mostly because Jivespace has better “community” facilities and a way to integrate with SL’s authentication mechanism…
