Nothin' on the grid in August, but these darn roaches? (They will be easier to zap for those who are inworld!)

Last week's poll shows that most people will be inworld a lot fewer hours in August (so stop reading this and get inworld for the few online minutes you gonna burn now).  Random observations (ok, really random--maybe meaningless) show lower peak concurrency already. It will be interesting to see where the July total hours comes out.

Anyway, looks like most people will take a bit of a SL break in August. We are working on a bunch of new things for September and October! 

Our readers/bloggers vote that best thing in Secondlife is the power to do you own thing--build or enhance the avatar. Roll your own mesh beats virtual sex...er...hands down. http://rezzable.com/poll/the-best-thing-about-sl

Lately, we have seen a lot of new virtual world platforms appear ( http://rezzable.com/blog/rightasrain-rimbaud/virtual-world-platforms-wat... )and the competition seems to be heating up. Nonetheless, the dedicated SL users (residents wtf) can sniff out the differences between the home we all love to hate and the newbie platforms stiff and bland. SL is like a dream still (ok sometimes nightmare) where you can roll your own virtual objects, build your own area--be a despot of your own realm.
