Yes­ter­day night I was fly­ing around in Sec­ond Life with no real des­ti­na­tion. I love to do this and find new stuff.

I came across a guy, of whom I will not cite the name, with an inter­est­ing group tag with the word CEO inside.

I stopped by and after a few sen­tences I found he was the CEO of a com­pany work­ing on the orga­ni­za­tion of events in Sec­ond Life.

I was quite inter­ested in the sub­ject and then decided to stop by and talk a lit­tle bit with this guy. After a few min­utes I heard that he was going to set up a live event for a big real life com­pany and that he was expect­ing an atten­dance of 300 or more Sec­ond Life res­i­dents to the event.

I have been in Sec­ond Life for a very long time and decided to inves­ti­gate a lit­tle bit fur­ther this num­ber he gave me.

I asked if he was plan­ning to imple­ment a simul­cast on dif­fer­ent islands for that event and he answered that he was going to host the event on a sin­gle island ded­i­cated to the event.

What ?

Do you really think you can host 300 avatars on the same island?

I gave a look at his Sec­ond Life birth date and it wasr March 07.

Hey Mr Wont­TellTheName do you know that you have to con­sider your­self lucky if you will be able to have 60⁄70 avatars on the same island?

A few weeks ago a friend of mine talked about the Sec­ond Life Viewer as the new Netscape. As I Already told in the past I basi­cally agree on this view.

The talk with this guy remem­bered me the Inter­net at the time of Netscape. New­born entre­prenuers approach­ing the mar­ket with no knowl­edge at all, both com­mer­cial and technical.

Why do I blog this? Some­how it’s nice to see that his­tory repeats itself.

    Hey my friends. I saw your post related to Sec­ond Life.
    I’ve never been there, but as I read this Sec­ond Life looks like one of the firsts vir­tual worlds.
    If we assume it has to be vir­tual, I pre­sume that peo­ple joins Sec­ond LIfe to be some­thing .…special.…crazy…impossible. You find a some­one that cre­ated its own vir­tual life where he/​she (we don’t know) is a CEO of a com­pany.
    A per­son with really plenty of fan­tasy :-) .
    But you did sur­prise me ’cause you had a dis­cus­sion about the max num­ber of peo­ple he could invite in his island.
    Hey if the life its vir­tual, I’ve the right to invite the num­ber of peo­ple I want …1…10…100.….10000 I know you where talk­ing about a tech­ni­cal lim­i­ta­tion.
    But accord­ing to my opin­ion this is the sign that this vir­tual sec­ond life is only the soft copy of the first one. Same rules, same prob­lems and dis­cus­sions.
    I’m wait­ing for Third Life ..where I hope peo­ple can really use the fan­tasy to cre­ate a totally dif­fer­ent world.
