Seems like a lot of marketing done in and around Second Life. Is that the only platform Crayon uses for its marketing efforts? How are they using new tools like twitter?

Is there not the fear that something better will come along as in the case of Sonys PS3 Home community and peoples attention being focused into something that works faster and is better.Admittedly not everyone will have a PS3 console so "Home" may become an elite community however people will more be inclined to join the better looking community.How does Second Life expect to survive with so much change coming and cope with the continuous competition? Hi Tom,

Will it erode the fantasy side of the environment? What opportunities are afforded by the increasingly immersive capabilities going forward, for example regarding telepresence vis-a-vis high-end systems like Cisco's Telepresence 3000.

Is Second Life best as a completely immersive experience or will the boundary start to fade and switching between it and everything else become faster and easier?
