Second Life
« on: November 20, 2006, 06:41:24 PM »
Second Life (SL) is a privately owned, partly subscription-based 3-D virtual world, made publicly available in 2003 by San Francisco-based Linden Lab, and founded by former RealNetworks CTO Philip Rosedale. The Second Life "world" resides in a large array of servers that are owned and maintained by Linden Lab, known collectively as "the grid". The Second Life client program provides its users (referred to as Residents) with tools to view and modify the SL world and participate in its virtual economy, which concurrently has begun to operate as a "real" market. At precisely 8:05:45 AM PDT, October 18, 2006, the population of Second Life hit 1 million Residents.

The Liverpool Philharmonic

"A British orchestra is to become the first to perform a professional music concert in the virtual online world of Second Life, it said Tuesday.
The Liverpool Philharmonic said audience members from across the world will "sit" in a three-dimensional virtual version of its home venue in the north-west England city and listen live as the real orchestra plays.
The concert on September 14, featuring works from Rachmaninov, Ravel and contemporary Liverpool composers John McCabe and Kenneth Hesketh, will be conducted by its principal conductor Vasily Petrenko."
