The Origin of Second Life and its Relation to Real Life

Linden Lab so sucks at customer service lol
Not a 3d world to even bother with they have had it.
Blue Mars is gona kill'em ;-)

Blue Mars has no relation to Second Life. How could it be competition when they are completely unrelated?

Short story, they approve of porn on there game.

Well, why not? They can´t really forbid it, also the main grid is for people +18 only (atleast before the grid merge) so they can do whatever they want. Linden Lab makes profit of every member in second life, and if people just make account´s for having virtual sex, it´s ok. But still, it is only a game. You can´t be in love with a avatar, but with a real human.

Is linden labs in linden washington? cuz thats my wher i grow up! xD

No it´s in San Francisco

ummm stumbled across this, and quite confused... can someone please explain "second life" to me???

It's a 3D virtual world through which millions of people all over the world interact.

Death to Second Life!

Emergence. what a concept. what is Linden Corp's research agenda? technology? simulation? social networking? all of these? That would be an interesting interview. "Prototyping your own life" - SL allows you to prototype products virtual and real and test the market for them. Prototyping yourself is an imaginative concept. We test the waters in 1st life too. this is just a different social arena. and a great venue for research.
