SecondLife:
"As you'll have seen me discuss before, we're in the midst of a long term plan to improve the Mainland as a place to live, work and visit. To make this happen, we plan to act as a more proactive Estate Manager than we have historically. Part of that means addressing issues that have a significant and negative impact on the Mainland experience, like we did when we banned ad farms."

Gamertell is reporting that the latest issue of the Kent State University alumni magazine has a cover story that focuses on two professors' use of Second Life.
One uses it to teach in a virtual classroom while the other uses it to give live theatrical performances.
From the article:
"Although a feature story about Second Life might seem, 'Like, so two years ago,' this is a prime example of how video games can be used to contribute to society and bring together a world community.

Split-screen.com: "It's typical for an Indian company to invent silly hooks to attract ordinary people into gaming. Where would we possibly be without those mainstream Spore conferences and gaming nights at bars? On looking at Tata Indicom's "Follow Your Heart" (seriously) Second Life Talent Hunt, we'd be motivated to think this is more on the silly, rather than hook-oriented, side but surprisingly, it's not. Granted, the number of ranked participants isn't exactly staggering but the idea represents the age old Indian talent hunt, just one playing out over the net. It's like the Idol series, only without the stuffy judges, amateur melodrama, the idiot box, emo-factor etc."» Read More

GI.Biz writes: "Linden Lab, the creator of Second Life, has announced its acquisition of two web-based marketplaces for virtual goods, Xstreet SL and OnRez.
The two websites, which sold in-game items to Second Life users, are to be consolidated in order to make it easier for Second Life shoppers to find virtual goods. According to Linden Lab, the global market for virtual goods is now USD 1.5 billion, of which Second Life accounts for USD 360 million."

John Zdanowski (AKA Zee Linden) has published Linden Lab's Q4 Second Life metrics from 2008 mixed with an annual summation. It reflects a considerable number of positives, but reads a bit like one of the paradoxes of motion from Zeno of Elea.
There is so much spin on these figures that you'd be well-advised to keep your fingers clear. Yes, Second Life experienced significant growth during 2008, and there was indeed growth in Q4 as well. None of the figures are wrong (except for the figures reported for reduction in land, which are credibly refuted elsewhere), but like Zeno the time frames used for the comparisons jump between using comparisons between years and quarters. As such, closer reading gives a different impression than a quick skim.

Massively: "Linden Lab's Frank Ambrose (AKA FJ Linden) has provided another progress report on ongoing reforms to Second Life's underlying technological infrastructure. Ambrose's updates are among the most informative that you'll find on Linden Lab's blog.
You may recall that in early 2007, Linden Lab switched the asset storage system to Isilon Systems storage clusters (the same sorts of high-performance storage-clusters that are used by Sony, ABC, Turner, NASA and Facebook)."

In a story posted yesterday, New World Notes reporter Wagner James Au, a.k.a. Hamlet, spoke with Beth Odets, one of the creators of Second Life Israel. She told him that there were "lots of people yelling… obscenities about murderous Israeli forces" and after evicting the most unruly protesters, she finally had to close the area to outsiders.» Read More

Kotaku: "The man at the heart of the Second Life story, which Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski seeks to turn into a movie, was caught off guard by news of the film adaptation.
After Crecente posted the news of Verbinski's purchase of the rights to the 2007 Wall Street Journal article about a man cheating on his wife in Second Life, I hopped onto the virtual world in order to ask Ric Hoogestraat's avatar Dutch what he thought about his situation possibly turning into a film. Not surprisingly, he hadn't heard anything about it."

This edition has five crash fixes, additional debugging to isolate the causes of graphics driver crashes, some fixes for PPC systems, and some more attempts to get object selection/cursor positioning right for edge-cases."

Massively: "What's worse than having a service provider slap a fat charge on your credit card that's not supposed to be there? It's having it happen a second time, after they've assured you that your credit-card details have been expunged from their records.
News agency Thomson Reuters employee, Evan Maloney, is in just that position in his evocatively titled email to the public regapi list "Linden can't be trusted with your credit card information". Maloney's been slapped with the US$500 fee for the Reuters Second Life surname not once, but twice. Last time it took many weeks to sort out -- Maloney isn't eligible for customer support, not being a premium account -- so trying to reach someone at Linden Lab via the mailing list seems to be his primary support option for getting things fixed."

Vint Falken writes: "When I wrote about Head & Feature tracking using Irrlicht and ARtoolkit a few months ago, we all agreed we wouldn't see this coming to Second Life anywhere soon. We all were wrong, as now there is the 'VR-WEAR SL head analysis viewer'. Get the custom viewer (<- page not working atm, go here), hook up your webcam and make sure you're 'well lit' and start smiling! Or is it a bit more complicated than that?"» Read More

"We're still reporting on Second Life, but only as part of our usual tech and media coverage," a Reuters spokeswoman confirmed to The Register (via Game Politics). After only two years of activity, one of the world's leading news services decided to end its virtual branch in the world of Second Life, and it may have taken a month-and-a-half for anyone to notice. The last entry on their site is dated September 30.» Read More

October metrics for Linden Lab's virtual environment, Second Life are not yet formally available, but Lab CFO John Zdanowski wound up giving out a link to the information in advance, so Massively has the figures to work with. September was not a good month by these metrics, and they were interested to see how October panned out.
Your key takeaways for October are a continuing plunge in premium accounts, and a reduction in overall economic activity. User hours, however were up.
