Investigate the New Media
MellaniuM is a small company that’s representative of a few hundred unsung hero companies of the metaverse, in my opinion. They fill a niche with virtual worlds technology in a way that can have a serious return on investment.
In their case, they create renderings of real-world constructions. You can walk around them, see how they […]
Last night to my absolute joy I discovered that Draxtor Despres covered the vBusiness Expo:
More business than the Draxtor thinks - there is more business success in SL than the mainstream media thinks, heck, even premiere virtual journalist Draxtor Despres got it wrong last week with asserting non-profits are the only ones to gain traction […]
More amazing work from Draxtor Despres:
Non Profit Commons: the Second Coming of SL - While corporations may be fleeing SL, the non-profits are coming in droves….One group in particular has set out to coordinate the efforts of over 60 socially active organizations from all over the globe. So: as the SL brand is still evolving, […]

It feels great to finally properly unleash this on the grid. When all was said and done, the official release of Zebra Corporate included:
A 60-seat amphitheater
A mini version of the 60-seat amphitheater
A 120-seat amphitheater meant to straddle two sims
A small office building
A large office building
A “galleria” (a curved building good for displaying content)
A landscape pack […]
David Rumsey has digitized 17,000 historical maps. You can now walk around them in Second Life, as well as cross-reference and remix them. The 3D build comes courtesy of the geniuses over at Centric, but it’s Rumsey that deserves credit for having a vision to do something truly remarkable. He’s taken a huge collection of […]
Yay, a new social content platform came out today! It’s called BricaBox! How random! Woooo!
What’s that?
Oh it’s… like… you make your own Flickr, YouTube, Wiki, link-sharing, whatever mashup social website of your dreams via a simple drag and drop interface. Free! (Insert blinking red and yellow “FREE” animated GIF here.)
Hate reading? Of course you do! […]

As we come down to the end of the year I find myself once again in a strange moment of transition. A few months ago I said goodbye to my little Games Park and settled on Metaversed Island. Now we’re renaming the island and moving it… I’ll fill you in on that […]
WHOA! Where did this come from?
It’s a perfectly polished little bit of machinima about a noob discovering SL for the first time. Funny, well-paced, and even sponsored! Nice find Moo!
