Since Linden Lab can’t get the first Second Life right, IBM has been selected to be the lab rats for the Second Second Life. In what is being described as an “enterprise-class virtual world”, Linden Lab wants to try to convince companies that Second Life doesn’t actually suck. The fact is, just because they have […]

I wouldn’t normally post something like this, but since this is the first time ever that it’s happened, I wanted to make a point of mentioning it. Today is the first time that a trackback from this site has been deleted from the official Second Life blog. I sent a trackback from the previous post, […]

If anybody needs just one reason to quit paying to “play” Second Life, this is the reason. Not only does the viewer and the grid that it runs on act like beta software, but the company that gets all of the money keeps asking us to help them with their beta crap.
“If you have time, […]

Apparently, launching streaming radio inside Second Life is on some sort of “new media initiative” list. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced a round of recipients of its Public Media Innovation Fund Program, which encourages experiments with emerging platforms.
They seem to think that people will log on to Second Life to come and visit their […]

It looks like the Yankee Group is trying to make Second Life out to be a bunch of hype, again. I tried to leave left a comment on this story at Linux Insider, but maybe my mad emotions were a little too much, and kept them from publishing it. Maybe they just haven’t got […]

While checking out SLNN, this morning, I saw a post called “Second Life According to Hitler“. I will say that this adaptation was a little funny, so I’ve embedded it, here. The problem is that the people who made it, Magrathean Technologies, which is sort of a web design/SL transmorgafier took this idea from history. […]

A story on Massively by Akela Talamasca caught my eye because it had the words “Forbes” and “insult” in the title. After reading this and the article (actually a blog post) that it talks about, I felt that I had to point this out and call a little more attention to it.
I think that I’ve […]

For the sake of preservation, I am pasting this blog entry from the Electric Sheep blog, “Out To Pasture“, written by Giff. The post was published at 2:30am, but it vanished from the blog a few hours (if not less) later, leaving only the text, “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” The post that I’m […]

I wonder if some of the people that write stories about Second Life actually do any sort of investigating before they say a word. It’s been people dropping numbers like “over 9 million” residents and more recently “10 million residents”. Who the hell cares about these numbers, anyway? Do they think that the people reading […]

Sorry Second Life evangelists. The Yankee Group’s just not buying the hype surrounding SL and other virtual worlds. Today, in a “group note” called Wither Second Life?, the research firm revealed that despite near-continuous media coverage, SL and other metaverses are actually in the midst of a continued slow down in growth and limited impact […]

The UNI Global Union web site claims that the virtual strike by IBM workers in Italy had a fantastic turnout, saying
“More than 1’850 - real- people protested behind their computers in over 30 countries to show solidarity with IBM Italy workers.
The protest took place at 7 IBM locations, and in particular at IBM Italia and […]
