Cyberland Comes Up for Air

well, well, well...

Our buddies at cyberland have finally issued a press release and it is a pretty exciting one (once you get past the extended apology and explanation of the lack of communication and action). After over half a year of working in secret, they are reporting that they have everything lined up for opening their own grid.

I was once a director of Cyberland and helped draft the original proposal for the off grid community. After my departure i always wondered what transpired of that idea. Despite being in the dark, I held on to my shares based on my faith in Shaun Altman and Buck Spinaker, the acting directors of the company.

I'm just very excited to see something happening at this company. It's secondlife's first publically traded company. Watch out for this one, people... it's success is going to turn some heads.

    This may sound exciting but the press release link is dead, the company is hoping to open its own grid, there must be an awful lot work involved from the basics of the area and building protection for avatars and usersbut a new experience is worth waiting for so I wish them good luck and look forward to seeing what comes from this.

    unfortunately cyberland closed shop recently. all investors were liquidated. it seems with all the changes to island estates, despite the really amazing payment system that Shaun built, the project did not take off as expected.
