Cory Ondrejka has some really interesting slides up from his recent seminar lectures. The thing I like most is that this "future of" talk isn't really future predicting as much as trend spotting. I think he's got several excellent predictions an… More

This screenshot of Electric Sheep's work on a virtual world in the browser is nice looking. They're using Ogoglio for the sever component and Papervision3D for the client. The look is nice certainly. When I was in Arlington this past week, Jess… More

I find myself agreeing with Giff, even though I've had some criticisms of the virtual-world-in-a-browser posts earlier. I do think the space between the Web and the virtual world is an interesting area in which to work, and I love to see someone … More

For a lot of the things SL residents get upset about, this one is much ado about nothing IMHO. The main reason for this supposed "devaluing" of property is that people have bought into the metaphor that they are indeed buying land, albeit virtual … More

Nice overview from Wagner James Au of the leading work he saw at Virtual Worlds 08 in terms of companies and products trying to bring about an open 3D Web. While he leads with the line that any of these might make Second Life the Netscape of the … More

Just linking it up for anyone who may want to listen in. Fascinating so far. It's a Windows .asx stream, so if you're on a Mac or Linux you'll need the appropriate setup.

Not rated yet.

I've been following the things Giff is writing at the ESC blogs the last few days, mostly because I'm fascinated by the turn from Second Life to a focus on lighter, Web-based virtual world experiences. I get where he's coming from now, at least in… More

A nice "year in review" type article on open source efforts at Linden Lab. This piece covers what has already been opened as well as directions for the next year. While we won't likely see a release of the complete server source this year, the pro… More

Linden tightens the reins on its brand - Reuters/Second Life

I haven't seen much noise about this among those covering SL, so it's nice to see Reuters give it a little attention. While I totally get that this is par for the course for a company -- that if you don't protect your brand, you loose it -- I'm i… More

Hmmmm, is anyone reading this the way I am? Are ESC effectively saying, "it's been fun, but we're done with Second Life?"
