Bild.de refers to our KaDeWe as:

Das Kaufhaus des Westens oder auch KaDeWe ist eines der trendigsten Kaufhäuser Europas. Es ist vielleicht eher ein Ausflugsziel für Touristen, als für normale Berliner im RL, aber die SL-Nachbildung aus Anlass des 100-jährigen Jubiläums ist allseits beliebt. Es ist eine faszinierende Konstruktion und ebenso ein großartiger Treffpunkt um soziale Kontakte zu knüpfen. (Name des Sim: KaDeWe)

The other projects on the top list are:

Sims with general projects:
Dresden Gallery, Visit Mexico, Greenies Home Rezzable, WWF, Dublin 3, Virtual Estonia, Hogback, newBerlin, Tokugawa

Sims with company presences:
Picassos Landing, Lafayette Baeute, Vodaphone Insideout, Starfruit, Ponderosa, IBM Boeblingen Lab, KaDeWe, Bershka Island, Manpower HQ, Telecom Italia 2

Congratulations to all of these great projects.

SL Exchange is the most popular online store for products related to or available within the virtual world of Second Life™. Second Analytics, our Second Life metrics and user tracking solution is now also available at slexchange.com.

Picture: Second Analytics now on www.slexchange.com

On SL Exchange most Second Life™ content creators and product developers offer their items "offworld". That means items are purchased on a website outside of Second Life™ but are delivered within the virtual world. As their website offers product classification in categories and an advanced search function finding a certain item is a lot easier and quicker on SL Exchange then inside Second Life™. Available product rating, tracked purchases and a very actively commenting community also make purchases a lot safer and more satisfying for customers.

The following editions of Second Analytics are available:

Free 30 Day Trial (1 Sensor), 1 Sensor/6 Months for L$ 30.000, 1 Sensor/12 Months for L$ 60.000, 2 Sensors/6 Months for L$ 48.000, 2 Sensors/12 Months for L$ 96.000, 5 Sensors/6 Months for L$ 96.000, 5 Sensors/12 Months for L$ 192.000

The viral clip "come with nothing - go with everything" by Sebastian Deyle and Tobias Düsing filmed at the Cannes film festival May 2008 received the award "Special Mention" in the Cannes á la Flip Competition.

A guy gets thrown out of a car a few miles away from Cannes... completely naked! Have fun watching him walking through the city only dressed with the silver bag, everybody gets when asking for his badge...

(If you like the video, you can rate for it on YouTube)

 

Our B_NETWORKers Sebastian Deyle and Tobias Düsing have made this short Clip during their stay in Cannes in May 2008 while presenting their new short movie "Happy Hour" at the Cannes Film Festival.

I personally like the clip for the Cannes á la Flip Competition very much and if you look at the comments here at www.theauteurs.com, there are a lot of other people thinking in the same way.

Looking forward to more work from you and the next cooperation ;)

On April 28, 2008 the OSRAM "1 Mio. L$ Idea" contest in Second Life has successfully ended. "The 1 Mio. L$ Idea" by OSRAM was a user-generated-content contest in the virtual environment Second Life.

In a huge ceremony the winners of the virtual worlds project "The 1 Mio. L$ Idea" by OSRAM in Secondlife were celebrated.

During this 5 month project OSRAM was looking for new product ideas for the real world, submitted by Secondlife users and developed in the virtual world.

Many, many ideas were submitted during the registration period - over 30 qualified for the building challenge. For the contest finals OSRAM reviewed them all and picked the ten most unique, creative and market orientated.

The creators of these ten ideas were then devided into two teams. Those teams decided which of the participants ideas should be their final submissions, worked them out together in detail, added more features, even merged two ideas into one. Both teams created very impressive presentations of their projects an did an absolutely awesome job.

However a winner had to be choosen and so did OSRAM after a long, indeep review of both teams work. On April 28 the winning team was announced during a huge ceremony, celebrated with a nice party and an awesome firework. Here are some impressions from that very special night in and around the OSRAM DOT-it Arena in Second Life ...

 

We'd like to thank OSRAM, YOUR SL, all contest participants and everyone else involved in this great project.
And again congratulations to "Team Orange" for winning the "The 1 Mio. L$ Idea"!!!
