Wagner tells us that 1000 runners from 89 teams were able to raise 200,000 USD (which equals to roughly 54 million Linden Dollars) for Relay For Life 2008, which is a collaboration between the Second Life Community and the American Cancer Society.
Well, 200 THOUSAND dollars is a lot of money, don’t you think?
Maybe this is […]
A great interview with Mark Kingdon, on GigaOM, by Wagner James Au.
A few interesting excerpts:
- Google Lively is not even a competitor; you have much more use cases in Second Life.
- They are focusing on three things:
a) “solidifying our proposition for what we’re defining as our core markets”;
b) Improving Second Life’s interface;
c) Stability and scalability […]
Well, it’s not a surprise: NOT THAT MUCH.
However, Artificial Intelligence in Second Life is improving.

Do you know Google’s Lively?
In short, you create an avatar and chat with your friends in room that you design. A simple 3D web, if you want.
Some people think that Lively will be the end of Second Life. I don’t.
Sibley Verbeck, Electric Sheep Company’s CEO, commented that Google’s lively will not be a threat to […]
