Linden Lab announced today that its plans for separating out adult content from the rest of Second Life became more determined. The initial idea was to solicit community feedback for definitions of adult content, filter that out of search results and locate it on a separate virtual continent. More concrete plan includes now definitions of PG, Mature, and Adult content for ratings and preferences, a more austere age verification system, and the launch of a new viewer with more controls.

Linden Lab, a creator of the virtual world Second Life, announced implementation of a main action with the aims of expanding the Second Life platform. Acquisition of two Web-based marketplaces for virtual goods, Xstreet SL and OnRez means putting the latest strategic initiatives together. Moreover, these acquisitions are expected to grow Second Life economy by offering users additional convenience in carrying out virtual goods and services transactions online.
