Linden Lab vice-president, Joe Miller talks candidly with PC Advisor and acknowledges that Second Life is not for everyone and that the service needs to be improved. He mentions that many Second Life residents have created vibrant marketplaces and their goals to create a platform that allows our residents to create experiences to match their imaginations.

"We are at the very early stages of this. For some people, it is not ready for prime time yet. Certainly, it does require a fairly modern computer, a capable graphics card, a broadband connection. It is not something that everyone can just put to use. There is also a fairly steep learning curve in getting into the world but we are working hard at making it easier... for people to find that context for staying, for finding a driving reason for them to say: "Well, this is more than just an interesting experience to sample once. This is something I can come back to and know that there is something here that is tailored to my interests."

So we are getting better at providing people with search capabilities that work. We are doing some things with tagging events, objects, experiences and places with metadata to give people visualisation tools so they can see on a map where things are happening that might be of interest to them, based on their profile."
