Read this article about fashion, and how real world brands are behaving in Second Life, both looking at their initiatives, and the relations with other people (other fashion designers, mainly).

Seems Superb, Showing SL Statistics, Seriously, Shy Softy Sophomores!
Ok, no more “S” words, I swear!
Linden Lab just released some nice graphs, showing interesting Second Life statistics.
What I infer is:

2. Land mass is rapidly growing (so why reduce price, morons?)

Happy Easter, dear readers!!
Just a quick note: you may be interested in reading the exit interview of Philip Rosedale, ex-CEO of Linden Lab.
Long, but worth reading.
I’ll get back to my fantastic italian dinner here… I love Easter, it has strong “religious” meanings (for believers, and for non-believers like me), but I also love it for […]
