Second Life Pros

Mark Kingdon’s interview

by sbrunozzi on July 19th, 2008

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 of the platform.

- 3D is much better than 2D or 2.5D (as in the Habbo Hotel virtual world)

- Second Life is profitable (but less than 40 million USD a year).

- The partnership with IBM on interoperability is GREAT.

Well, good points. And good luck, Mark!
