Packing up my "Second Life" store.

Yes, the moment has finally arrived.  I started experimenting with the "Second Life" platform in 2005, become moderately in successful in 2006 but since then, after the 2007 boom, interest and traffic has kept decreasing at a steady rate.

When my latest hosting bill came in, the profit number finally fell below zero and turned red.

It's been a good run, but I have a first life to deal with. If anybody of the SL crowd is interested in any of the systems I have built in the past, drop me a line.

As predicted: Google "Lively" dies!

The official Google blog confirms that "Lively" wont make it to 2009.


I can't really say I am surprised, as I predicted this months ago. Instead of trying to make a list "what did they do wrong?", just ask: "What did they do right?".
