Is it just me or does the Linden Script Language and Second Life in general remind them of the Oop! company and programming tool in Douglas Coupland’s Microserfs book? It’s just a thought but having had a look at second life I’m impressed by it’s technology and capability but it’s still a bit “geeky”. Interacting with virtual life objects using an OO scripting language is wonderful in theory but it needs some good UI building tools I suppose. Still, this digital microcosm is hugely successful at the moment with an economy alledgedly worth millions of dollars. Let’s not think about the liquidity issues just yet.
