It was absolutely fabulous to see Philip Rosedale and Mark Kingdom this morning. It was obvious they were at home and they had fun giving their presentation! Mark aka M. was much funnier than I expected. His slides were only SL pictures of places and spaces he has visited, and he used quite a lot of time in-world!
Philip talked about digitzing RL, and the little house "we" have right now in SL might be the center of virtual San Francisco or New York City in the future!
As twittered earlier, another point was the improvement we'll see in graphics and animations in times to come. Philip predicted these will be better than RL in three years!
Of note also is the fact that SL users spend more than eight times as long logged into the client than Facebook users spend online at Facebook!
A quick summary of impressions after the keynote speech was that a healthy Linden Lab will try to include social tools in SL and keep on making it easier to enter!
I am not really sure we want Facebook features and applications in SL but I guess we have to leave that up to the users. In fact, the users of SL are the major force behind Linden Lab and the reason why this virtual world will continue to increase its footprint in digital environments.
