Watch Ebbe Altberg Speak About Second Life & "SL 2"

Here's video of Linden Lab CEO Ebbe Altberg's avatar speaking to several hundred educators on the future of Second Life and "Second Life 2":

This is a follow-up to a post last Friday, where I initially misread the notes to interpret Altberg as talking about Second Life, when he was actually talking about Second Life 2 -- sorry, "Next Generation Platform". (So I figure you should get all this straight from the avatar horse's mouth.)

Speaking of which, "Next Generation Platform" is a really awkward mouthful, so until they give it an actual name, I'm calling it "NGL".

And gawd, whatever happens to NGL, I really hope they figure out a better way to do voice chat, because it's pretty painful watching what looks like a Team America: World Police marionette.

Hat tip to Frans for the video!

Film work could use a little help, wonder why they didn't get Metaverse TV this year?

I see this as yet another attempt to make an "SL For People Who Don't Like SL." The people who have property or businesses will stay on old SL and people who have never had an interest in SL will pass it up. Remember how hundreds of thousands were going to flock to SL once there was mesh, or Oculus, or normal maps, or voice IMs, or fill-in-the-blank. None ever happened.

Ebbe Keynote Sucks >

Not a single Presentation Slide of SL Next-Generation Opportunities was Shown.

Ebbe only has trivial Bells and Whistles - Windows 10 & #3DHolographic are NextGen Opportunities http://ow.ly/KFd8S

Ebbe lacks the Technology Agnostic Approach like the World Bank indicates about ICT Education:
Worst practice in ICT use in education http://ow.ly/KC33s

More and more existing competitors leave SL NextGen (in-the-pipeline) eating the dust. They already exist as Platform-as-a-Service PaaS use case platform:
