If I want to hand over my private information so Zuckerberg can afford a third solid gold Porsche, I'll go to Facebook. I don't need Facebook knowing and selling details about what sexbeds I'm buying, thank you.</p>
<p>I would no more enter SL through Facebook than I'd go to a lit fireplace after dousing myself with Gasoline.</p>bongo commented on 'Big Breakthrough: You Can Run Second Life in Facebook with SpotON3D's Browser Plugin Wrapper!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef014e8a61ac2d970d2011-08-04T18:56:07Z2011-08-04T18:56:07Zbongohttp://bongo.comDuring the 2008 vr worlds hype a rama, at least 3 VC funded companies placed VR worlds into plugin engines...<p>During the 2008 vr worlds hype a rama, at least 3 VC funded companies placed VR worlds into plugin engines and wrappers that worked in Facebook.

<p>I think Linden Lab themselves should roll out a wrapper, with hooks in the client for full Facebook interoperability (background download, quick registration, etc). They're in the best position to laugh off frivolous litigation by two-bit patent sharks, and a free open-source implementation would be a great boost for the virtual world community as a whole.</p>

Considering that, I'm actually kind of surprised that nobody has made a Second Life client on Facebook before now. Granted, it was finally taken down in July due to very good reasons, but I'm sure someone could have come up with something that fulfilled all of LL's requests.</p>
