There is one thought that hit my mind when I read again the news about the possible opening of the server side software of Lindenlabs: it would really, really nice to have regional datacenters at least.

The new search in town and the big privacy issues it implies
There is a new search tool available as beta for Second Life, being developed of the Electric Sheep Company at the moment and open for public now since a few days ago.

In the Avastar #14 there’s a comment of Gwyneth Llewelyn about the scaling of Second Life on page 6.
