04.16.08And in related news, the economy in 3D!Linden Lab also announced today that their economic statistics will be available in 3D, in keeping with the fact that when the bars are going higher, by putting it on an angle like that it looks even better!

04.01.08“We’ll have a response Friday, or Monday” (checks watch)The Linden PR representative told New World Notes that we'd receive clarification of the branding guidelines by Monday.
