For those of you who are familiar with the MetaCard, it probably doesn’t come as a surprise the card is being discontinued by First Meta. Launched in July 2007, the card was the first of its kind, a credit card for virtual world currency. Usage of the card has slowed to a crawl recently due to the real world and Second Life® economies. Although merchants accepted the card, consumers have had little interest.

RP is not for everyone, it’s not for me to be sure, but having come in contact with several pregnant avitars recently, I was curious how SL™ pregnancies work and what’s involved.

In case you were wondering, there is a place to learn about business issues in Second Life® and join in the discussion. The Commerce Forums (don't let the name put you off) are at https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/commerce. Thinking the forum is only for business owners or economics majors is a mistake. It is loaded with interesting information as well as banter on such topics as the SL Pro! Conference in February 2010, the new Managing Freebies Roadmap and employment in SL. Some people have commented that it’s difficult to find and, having only stumbled upon it myself, I understand why they say that.
