Only if someone could combine beauty of private islands and great geography of mainland. But is it too tough equation? Maybe there will be a grid one day, where this dream becomes true.
Open Source Spinoff of Second Life Slowly Smothering Revenue Base of Second Life Itself
Hypergrid Business reports a new high for OpenSim grids, with 144 regions over the past month, and smaller grids attracting new users. Not entirely coincidentally, this news comes at the same time we learn that Second Life lost about 200 private sims in just two weeks, which brings the total l...
If they just could focus on keeping the existing users happy instead of trying to reach the Facebook dummies... Seems like we can only dream about seeing bugs like SVC-472 (about region crossing problems) fixed one day, because LL concentrates on everything else... *sighs*
Coming Soon: Big User Interface Changes to Second Life!
Big changes are coming soon to Second Life's much-debated, much-derided user interface, according to Linden Lab CEO Rod Humble, who recently stopped by the popular Second Life user forum SL Universe to mention this. The changes will merge the current Basic and Advance modes, something that's a...
Nice feature, but I just wonder, if these messages can be read in-world too... Also, a normal mailbox is more convinient for offline communication, because you can use your email software in your mobile phone too. For contacting those, whose email addresses are not know for you, this sounds like a great new tool. I just hope, the message won't cap as easily as regular IMs...
Linden Lab Adds Web-Based User-to-User Messaging to Its SL Social Network; Message Me at Hamlet.Au!
Linden Lab recently added user-to-user messaging to My Second Life, its web-based social networking platform. Now instead of selecting IM (which launches the whole heavy SL client), you select Send Message (like I'm doing here, with SL friend Harper Beresford), and off your message goes. This ...
Yet another new feature... *sighs* But when will LL fix the region crossing problems that really have annoyed us for years?
Second Life Web Profiles Now Live - I.E., More Social Networking for Your Social Networking
Linden Lab's Second Life web profiles, which were Beta-launched last month, are now live. To check out yours, go here and log in with your SL account info. You can post updates and reply to other SL user updates, and even send these updates to your Twitter account, and with so much energy over...
I think, that the following things would make the upcoming username drama smoother:
1. high enough price for changing your visible name
2. limitation how often you can change it
3. possibility to register one visible name, that would prevent anyone else using them. By default all the old names must be allocated by the current owner.
Is There a Better Way to Deploy Alternate Second Life Display Names?
As promised last weekend, Linden Lab just announced and attempted to explain their upcoming system for allowing users to customize their Display Names. I say "attempted", because judging by the long, long thread of user response, the policy's causing more confusion and consternation, than enthus...
