Its
nearly-official and you read it here first. Linden Labs has
been seriously hinting that that they are going to open-source
their SecondLife grid server technology.
This
is a monumtal announcement which means that Secondlife's 3D
technology will be able to be run anywhere and on any servers
owned by any company.
Reports have been forthcoming in recent months that SL would
be fully open-sourced, and Eyegloo is developing an implementation
strategy so that it will be one of the first companies to
host its own 3D world using SecondLife open-source technologies.
This
announcement from Linden Labs (creators of SecondLife) will
usher in a new internet era where 3D worlds will slowly begin
to replace traditional websites.

Users
will be able to seamlessly move from one 3D world to another
without being limited to simulations that are available only
within SecondLife.
This
move bodes well for Eyegloo and its innovative virtual business
models. Initiatives such as Virtual Providence will eventually
operate entirely on servers owned and operated by Eyegloo
instead of SecondLife.
While
this open-source announcement was expected, it has come somewhat
earlier than anticipated. This may be due to mounting pressure
coming from companies like Google, who are reportedly working
on their own virtual world technologies.
The implications behind this move are tremendous. Contact
us today to find out how this will impact your plans to enter
this virtual world.
