This year’s Second Life 9th Birthday (SL9B) celebration is coming to a close, but before the SIMs shut down forever here are some of my favorite SL9B exhibits that you won’t want to miss!

Debunking the rumors…

Linden Lab has officially updated their Policy on Third Party Viewers. Here’s how the controversial new clauses will effect your Second Life experience.

Linden Lab has an extensive history of launching their marketing and advertising campaigns for Second Life to mixed reviews, and their most recent attempts have been no different.

A recap of the major news, improvements, and announcements coming out of the Second Life Community Convention 2011.

The Second Life Product Team presented what they have been working on in order to better address the communities needs including a prototype game.

Today Mitch Wagner said he thought that Second Life was inconvenient, has gone as far as it can go, and is the wrong platform. He prefers Facebook and Twitter. As much as I respect Mitch’s opinion, I disagree.

There has been quite some noise in the Euro blogosphere about a new EU Parliament project, Citzalia. Citzalia is a new virtual world and social networking forum.

In addition to Linden Lab’s official viewer, users can access the virtual world of Second Life through a number of customized third party viewers. This has created much debate as to whether these third party viewers are safe.

The 6th annual Second Life Community Convention (SLCC) took place in Boston this past weekend. It was an exciting weekend packed full of Linden Lab announcements as well as a plethora of resident-led discussions and presentations.

As the Second Life 7th Birthday is winding down, I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite exhibits from the week. While all the exhibits were special, here are some of the ones I most enjoyed.

The Second Life 7th Birthday celebration kicked off this morning with an address from Linden Lab founder, SL creator, and current Chairman of the Board – Philip Rosedale (aka Philip Linden).

OPEN FORUM:

What changes specifically do you think Linden Lab needs to make? What specifically do you want to see in Second Life? What areas do you think the Lab should be focusing their time on?

How are you creating the change you want to see?

Today’s Topic: Age

Age (along with many of the other confines of the physical world such as race, religion, sex, etc.) becomes a very interesting topic when examined in virtual space.

Today’s Topic: Relationships

The desire to feel connected is a basic human instinct. This doesn’t change when we log into a virtual world.
