Laut SonntagsZeitung stützt sich Linden Lab, die kalifornische Betreiberfirma von Second Life, nicht auf leistungsfähige Großrechner, sondern auf Kleinserver. Auf diesen befinden sich die von zahlenden Abonnenten gekauften Inseln, also Ländereien, die bebaut werden können. Jeder Server beherberge zwei Inseln. Diese Architektur ist nicht skalierbar und erfordert immer aufwändigere Pflege. Darum komme es in jüngster Zeit oft zu teilweise stundenlangen Wartungsunterbrechungen."

Aus dem Pressetext:
"Handelt es sich bei Second Life um einen Web 2.0-Hype oder einen Trend, der sich auch mittelfristig einen relevanten Platz bei den großen Internetangeboten sichern wird? Wie sieht der heutige Markt aus und was sind die Wirkungsmechanismen der Plattform?
Diesen Fragen ist Markus Breuer von der Elephant Seven AG, einem Tochterunternehmen der Pixelpark AG, gemeinsam mit Sebastian Küpers, Berater bei Pixelpark Agentur, nachgegangen. Ihr Ergebnis, das White Paper „Second Life und Business in Virtuellen Welten“, steht auf der Website der Pixelpark AG kostenlos zum Download zur Verfügung. Neben der Markt- und Wettbewerberanalyse und einer Vorstellung aktueller Projekte bietet das Dokument weiterhin Analysen und Empfehlungen zur Integration von virtueller 3D-Welten in die Marketing- und Kommunikationsstrategie von Unternehmen."

"On Thursday October 12th 2006, Versu Richelieu entered a window at the corner of 39th Street and 5th Avenue in New York City. For the next 3 days, she stayed in the window and built out a replica of the city surrounding her. The story captivated the imagination of the internet community as hundreds of thousands of people logged into nyclivewindow.com to watch her progress in realtime."

"'My Second Life' was shot entirely in the popular online world Second Life. On one of his visits in SL, Filmmaker Douglas Gayeton came across a series of seven video dispatches by a character named Molotov Alva. It appears that a man by the same name mysteriously disappeared from his real world California home in January 2007. Gayeton put Alva's dispatches together into a documentary of seven episodes. Will he find the answers he's looking for?"

SL Future Slon:" Plus One reports that a group in London re-ran the same experiment in a virtual world and the results were eerily similar. The participants showed comparable stress and anxiety levels. Their conclusions?
'Our results show that in spite of the fact that all participants knew for sure that neither the stranger nor the shocks were real, the participants who saw and heard her tended to respond to the situation at the subjective, behavioral and physiological levels as if it were real. This result reopens the door to direct empirical studies of obedience and related extreme social situations, an area of research that is otherwise not open to experimental study for ethical reasons, through the employment of virtual environments.'"

Thelastboss.com: "As a community grows that large it's normal for the original players to become defensive as the newcomers start changing the way things are run, but in an online world where anything is possible (online embassies, terrorism, borderline genocide, and the infamous dildo storms) the worried veterans have resorted to drastic actions that I didn't even know were possible within the game.

Declaring himself as a political officer for the Second Life Liberation Army, Cahill is fighting in hopes that the game's Linden Lab creators will give his army more influence in the future of the game through voting: 'The population of the world should have a say in the running of the world.' He goes on to compare himself to John Adams proving he's just as arrogant as his enemies, but this will still gain his army the attention they long for. "

In a rare performance as a featured musician in his own venue, DimiVan Ludwig, aka Chris Harlow, will be coming to us live from his studio in Indianapolis. Taught guitar at an early age by his father, Dimi played professionally for over 20 years before he retired. Tonight Dimi will perform a wide variety of music showcasing his talent on acoustic guitar and proving once again "it's those little things...."
Edward Lowell, one of the members of the infamous ChaChaCha Boys Band of Indy Jam fame, has been entertaining full houses with his soothing romantic voice, original songs, and wicked wit. Like Dimi, Ed has come to SL from another internet music program and is enjoying exploring the music possiblities of SL.
Hosted by Edward Lowell in the intimate club setting of The Hummingbird Cafe on the beautiful musical"
