People are companies too.

It's still comparatively small now, but I see endless potential. Realize that 10 million objects have so far been built by our members. I'm stunned by people's endless desire to create.

By nature of its unlimited potential, Second Life has already attracted a large community of creative individuals from a wide range of disciplines. By creating the Linden Lab Fellowship, we hope that we will encourage students of the expressive arts to explore the potential of the virtual world, for the benefit of both the Second Life culture and the broader world of art.

Everything you're seeing now, the community built. It's part of a new weird nation where all bets are off. Here, the future is yours to create.
