$48m. And that ain't Linden Dollars.

I saw this photo today on Dedric Mauriac's blog, A Second Life of Programming, along with a glowing review of Silverscreen and the 300 Movie Expo. I love the angle the photo is taken from; a nice one from which to reflect how far the sim has come since we first broke virtual ground.

And all on the day we learn that "300" took $48m from 5,000 print in 33 markets over the weekend, including $8.9m in the UK, $6.3m in Spain, $5.6m in France and $5.3m in Italy, opening at number one in 20 markets.

In other news, further coverage of our event spotted in The Avastar and on the Second Life News Network. Two very different 'native' SL publications, and both worth checking out.
