There is really little question that Second Life is growing by leaps and bounds everyday. Even though many people still have not fully grasped this yet, its success has already been proven many times over. The numbers speak for themselves…

Clickable Culture has a fascinating article about using Second Life and the World Wide Web as a 3D design platform. In this case the designer is creating a “historically based game-like environment”. However, these tools could possibly be used to recreate communities and whole cities, to demonstrate the redesign of public places, for instance. Or , even to give a community, college students, or a design team a sort of “3D wiki” of their community to work with? There are lots of possibilities and potentials here. Perhaps all of the potentials are not currently possible in Second Life as it exists right now. many of them do not seem too far off or out of reach, though…. Source: Social Synergy
