the drax files radio hour 
Each week we hear about the next new vr world. The word used so often, future! Thankfully we have SL.Something that works today! It continues to get better. Linden Lab could have saved themselves a lot of money. Forget Sansar, just push the SL of 2016. It will always be the number one. Now with extra prims, just gets better and better!
The world is made by its users: in that sense we agree with you 100% = the wonderful diversity of SL community makes it better every single day!
Not really sure about those prims. On my sim there is only about 20.000sqm rented with about 5000 LI and sim performance is down to 38-40 FPS.
Also not sure about Ellas comment, SL is not getting better for me. I am using Linux, so LLs viewer does not work for me anymore (only Kokua does). Streaming music does not work as well, so I can’t go to parties. There is objects that randomly do not load because of interest list bugs and did you know that pathfinding stops working as well if you put out any objects with color changers, like candles or a christmas tree? The list goes on and on.
So I think competition in the market of virtual worlds is a good thing. Keep reporting about new products and worlds, Drax. The winner of the platforms eventually should be an open source product though, because I would not like to depend on any corporation with my second life. I mean imagine we just had AOL and never used the Internet.
We appreciate the comment very much Jason! We embrace all listeners = even Linux users ;)p
