Second Life Viewer 2.0 Appeal to Mainstream
I happened to be googling some stuff about SL yesterday and realized the most recent update to the viewer will have alot more to offer than just a few bug fixes and a color change to the GUI. I will be sure to try the beta within the next few days.
From Virtual World News...
"[Yesterday] Linden Lab announced the beta release of Second Life Viewer 2... The new viewer promises substantially simpler ways of navigating the virtual world and its cultural currents, but also connects the user's 3D experience much more extensively to the 2D Web and real life. The key, as with many of Linden's moves over the last few years, is to mainstream Second Life...
Among the new changes are Web browser-like buttons for navigation, a simplified (and easier to find) display to manage friends lists, and improved search functions.
Perhaps most importantly for bringing new brands and services to Second Life, though, is the ability to drop Web pages, video, Flash content, and other media onto any surface in Second Life. TVs can now broadcast Hulu in the virtual world and arcades can play host to a variety of Flash games (including some casual MMOs) without leaving Second Life. The company also says it will be announcing new services for shared documents and collaboration, making the Web makeover as much about business as entertainment."
