27/03: 17 Companies and Growing
Silicon Island has become a haven for RL companies to operate out of, partly due to our great sim and architecture design, but also because of our great culture and amenities. Silicon Island residents are constantly surrounded by the latest in SL technology as well as custom design. We keep a strict PG status and request that all VIPs, security teams, and residents remain cordial at all times. Though we have had our fair share of Greifer attacks, as a whole, it could be considered one of the most peaceful and professional island in SL.
To date our residents include the following:

08/03: Interview with the Metaverse Messenger over Obama'08 HQ on Silicon Island
1." I understand from things said at the meeting that there is no official connection between the Obama campaign in RL and your efforts in SL. That suggests to me you are completely on your own, which also suggests a great deal of commitment. What is leading you to spend your time, efforts, and $L on this?"
Liam Kanno's response. "The Barack Obama Campaign is similar to the Kennedy quote "Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what can you do for your country", meaning Obama is asking us to utalize our own strengths to help push forward the Obama agenda, and it is my personal belief that he is an ideal candidate to help our country rediscover itself. So I am asking myself "What I can do for my country" and that answer is "I can use my talents in SL on a Grassroots level to support the Obama agenda, thereby supporting my countries prosperity and future. (Though my only reservation is his 'Pro-Abortion' stance)". Looking at his campaign from the Silicon Island perspective I am quite interested in how his Campaign staff have harnessed the power of communites through communications technology.
