Second Life Viewer 2.0 Effects
Posted: Wed Feb 24, 2010 11:12 pm
Linden Lab is releasing their viewer version 2.0... well... the Beta version at least (2.0.0.202174). This has been the topic of speculation and conjecture for some time. One of the biggest reasons for change is the high number of users that try Second Life and do not return, over 90%, I think 98% but I am not taking the time to look it up just now.

If LL has met their goals, this could well have a significant impact on other grids, like OpenSIM. I'm not sure the popularity of the viewer will over come the cost benefits of OpenSIM. We will have to see.
Changes in the user interface could have a significant impact. I know I am really missing some of the features of the SL viewer in the Cavern. I often feel like I'm wearing straight jacket.
New World Notes has an article up and discusses some of the possible impacts on other virtual worlds.
Whatever the case, I suspect there is much to be learned.
