Cory Doctorow: “By opening up the source code for Second Life, Linden is inviting a competitive marketplace for Second Life hosters. Indeed, they describe a “Second Life grid” of multiple Second Life hosters who interconnect — the way that today’s Web consists of a single Web with millions of servers that are all linked together by their users”.

Certainly is pretty big news. Long term Second Life might even replace the world wide web. huh!

Four Eyed Monsters screening in Second Life tomorrow night

I talked about Arin Crumbley and Susan Buice a while back and was really impressed by the piece on Net Neutrality. I was aware that they had made a film called Four Eyed Monsters but I didn’t get around to watching the video podcasts until a few days ago.

Through the video podcasts they’ve managed to generate an incredible amount of interest and it’s well deserved: everything about them is entirely captivating. If you want to see how to really use the web as a tool make sure you watch.

Their latest offering is a screening of the film in Second Life. Here is their invitation. I’m going to do my best to be there. If all goes well I might even have a date, and get this I’ll be here in London and she’ll be in Montreal.
