Exit interview of Philip Rosedale

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.

Here you find the high quality versions of I, II and III release of videos.
Please, say thank you to Torley Linden. He deserves it.

Update on search ranking

realXtend joins OpenSim

On this post, the official Second Life Blog outlines some interesting informations about SL Economy.
Both economic growth (in terms of Linden Dollars exchanged) and users went way up in the 4th quarter of 2007. Good news!
