OpenSim?
With the current stability I got into looking at Opensim. An open source implementation of the servers that run second life. Or rather a reimplementation using a BSD like licence. Even if this project have vary much work left to do until it's beginning to be useful. But they need help and support so maybe we can get a grid that is stable with out censor, and with the laws in the country on the sim owner not california.
For a 3d-world to take over after the web, it needs a standard interface, between client and server. It needs that everyone can start there on server really cheep. It needs that you can set up a server for your own needs on your computer. None that tried to make the own browser strategy succeeded, the need to have all stetting up there own servers and running there own home pages are much hinger that the need to control the technology. The questions what roll can Linden Labs have in such a future?
At the moment they make the best server software. They make the best client. They have the biggest knowledge of running the stuff. I'm sure a company like that can find good ways to make money But it will not be in then same way as today. There are some big questions that will have to be solved before we can get a place like that working. How will the economy work? I think is the major problem. For one of the things taht actually work in SL is the micro economy.
