The SL conference is now underway and speaking is Jerry Paffendorf from the Electric Sheep Company. According to the speaker, the current membership is a whopping 536,000.

Channel 4 has just aired a series of films in SL which are now showing on the main screen. It's a walkthrough of the space, particularly the way fledgling cottage businesses are flourishing. One business owner being interviewed was making $200 per week. A year on that's now $1000 per week. Some are making as much as $200,000 per year in SL.
