All questions » Technology » Internet » intlibber Will Linden Lab open its grid to connect to independent virtual world Grids in 2008?
Current forecast: 38% chance 
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 38% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)
Linden Lab owns the virtual world of Second Life, which is referred to as a 'grid' of simulators. LL has supported the OpenGrid project along with OpenSim simulator server software development, and recently tested the first teleportation of an avatar between Second Life and another grid, the private grid of IBM. However allowing avatars to bring their money and personal property (inventory) with them to any grid or any trusted grid remains in development. When will this take place?
