<description><![CDATA[&quot;As some of you were confused about the difference between what Second Life denizens call furries and what they call nekos, or hybrids, I thought I would take a moment to clear things up.Since the dawn of time, man has had close bonds with the animal kingdom. Many Native American tribes revered animal spirits as part of their rituals and celebrations. The ancient Egyptians worshiped gods depicted as humanoids with animal heads. Zeus, king of the Greek gods, liked to turn into a bull and mate with human women. Perhaps that's a bad example. The point is that we relate to animals. We talk <br/><br/>7 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is a historic day for Second Life, and for virtual worlds in general. IBM and Linden Lab have announced that research teams from the two companies successfully teleported avatars from the Second Life Preview Grid into a virtual world running on an OpenSim server, marking the first time an avatar has moved from one virtual world to another. Itâ€™s an important first step toward enabling avatars to pass freely between virtual worlds, something weâ€™ve been working toward publicly since the formation of the Architecture Working Group in September 2007. These are still early days, however, so am<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&quot;Like many documentary film makers, Mr. Gayeton faced access issues. Since the early 1990s he has been developing online communities and digital media, such as writing and directing the videogame tied to the film &quot;Johnny Mnemonic.&quot; But his real-world credentials didn't carry weight in Second Life. Residents cared more about Molotov Alva's reputation and relationships. &quot;It took me months and months to gain their trust,&quot; says Mr. Gayeton of his efforts to penetrate some wary in-world subcultures, such as the &quot;furries,&quot; residents who adopt animal traits.

<description><![CDATA[To do this, the humans must directly tell the pet - via Second Life's instant messaging typing interface - that they are about to teach it a task. When the pet receives a specific command, such as &quot;I am going to teach you to sit&quot;, it works out that it is about to learn something new called &quot;sit&quot;. It then watches the human avatar and starts to copy some of the things the teacher does.<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Throughout 2007, publications like Wired, Forbes, and the LA Times pronounced Second Life over-hyped, while negative press over Ponzi schemes, porn, etc. suggested imminent disaster. Meanwhile, the world's user base tripled (both in terms of monthly active and maximum concurrent users), and continues attracting about a half million new sign-ups a month. How can this possibly be happening?<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>
