"Staff of Linden Labs, the creators of virtual world Second Life, and IBM announced last night that they have achieved the first recorded teleport of their avatars from one virtual world into another. Researchers from the two companies teleported avatars from the Second Life Preview Grid to an OpenSim virtual world." This does seem rather huge, but in exactly which way is somewhat difficult to say right now. Maybe the best news is that the dissatisfied SL people (referenced in the post) will have an easier way for their avatars to escape from LindenLand. Any predictions on how much longer before my daughter's Nintendog can teleport from her DS game system to leave a little land mind on Education Island? -BD
