		<description><![CDATA[I was invited to speak at Train for Success yesterday and, frankly, the audience was the main attraction. Maybe there was something about the topic (the Future of Virtual Worlds) &#8211; but there was no shortage of ideas, passion and discussion&#8230;.I only wish it could have gone on longer. Much of the discussion sort of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Allowing mesh imports into Second Life is on-strategy for Linden Lab and part of their broader &#8216;Fast, Easy, Fun&#8217; mantra, according to Jack Linden with whom I appeared on last night&#8217;s Designing Worlds.

I remember the early days of Second Life &#8211; the map was a friend and a mystery.
