Virtual World Services Merger Announced
Second Life resident Bolliver OddFellow, speaking on a panel at the Second Life Community Convention this morning, announced the merger 3pointD flagged a few days ago: It turns out Bolliver’s Infinite Vision Media is teaming up with SL resident Hiro Pendragon’s Out of Bounds Software, as well as teaming up with Lichtenstein Creative Media to form a joint venture called Infinity Squared.
Infinite Vision and Lichtenstein, of course, are the people who brought the Infinite Mind radio show to Second Life. Hiro has been well known in-world for some time for his katana, one of the earliest items that were widely popular on the Grid. More recently he’s been responsible for the 3D wiki that’s being used to help design a park in Queens, New York.
While it’s not a tie-up between any of the Big Three, it could create new competition for the larger services companies. It’ll be interesting to see which direction Bolliver, Hiro and Infinity Squared as they try to differentiate themselves from the other players in the space.

I’m glad these two found each other.
Thank You Prok! were glad all 3 eompanies found ech other as well. I think with one of our main focuses being on helping, non profits, and educators aswell as those brands interested in social marketing and sustainable growth, push the leading edge of interactive and experiential community building we may even produce a project or 2 you will endorse.
Yes, Boliver, you can search the world over, and never find the right person, but with Second Life, you have a chance to find your soul-mate.
Erm, I don’t endorse products. I make commission others to make them and I sell them! But I’ll have my girl call your girl, and we’ll do lunch real soon!

I agree with Prokofy. Excuse me while I go barf in my shoe now.
It is me, or was this just bait-and-switch buzz? I expected an announcment of large companies merging - rather than “the two guys working in their basements decided to share toys.”
