There is a very interesting article published today in Hypergrid Business on how to scale Second Life and make it much larger.
Although I am not sure I agree with the conclusions about moving Second Life Infrastructure to Cloud Computing, which I believe is overhyped technology right now, there is one very interesting assertion that has me thinking- that Second Life failed to meet initial expectation of rapid Facebook-style growth because it was under capitalized - and not because it is too complicated to master for an "average" Facebook user.

Extremely interesting article and there is some hope but these are the Lindens we are talking about!
