Teen Grid gets an education focus
December 29, 2006
Claudia Linden’s post on the official Linden blog shows the level of interest in SL from the education community. This was a focus of the report on the 7.30 Report last night , where a Sydney University group were utilising SL as a teaching tool.
It seems self-evident that a formal presence in SL from an Australian university can’t be far off.

Second Life featured on the 7.30 report
December 29, 2006
ABC TV’s The 7.30 Report featured Second Life tonight (Friday 29th December). The focus was on an Australian user, Lythe Witte and how she took part in the SL community. The story also covered another virtual world, Entropia Universe.
The thrust of the story was how virtual worlds may play an increasing role, and the interest of big business in it all. There was also some discussion on governance and intellectual property issues. A link to the full transcript will be posted when available. We’ll also contact Lythe Witte to see if she’d like to make a comment.
The biggest shame is that the SL grid is down at the time of the publicity.

December ‘Second Opinion’ released
December 22, 2006
Linden Labs have released the December issue of Second opinion. The new Civic Center section looks further at self-governance issues in SL. It’s encouraging to see the wider strategic view of SL continuing to be discussed whilst the day-to-day issues and infrastructure are addressed.
At present I think Linden are a duck - calm on the surface but one mad pair of legs swimming underneath. At least the duck’s eyes still have their focus.
