First, it looks as though Linden Labs, the developers behind Second Life, may be downsizing their corporate efforts ( Second Life Enterprise Edition ). Two sources indicate that Linden may actually be shutting down their Enterprise operations. Some interesting developments in the 3D Learning and Collaboration Space.

No freedom of press or religion. From cable companies being fined for throttling bandwidth , to issues of net neutrality to unexplained censorship , we are reminded daily that the Web is actually a very private place. Second Life/Linden Lab is really just a Web-hosting company that lives in San Fran. No free speech applies here.
