Personally I'd like an SL version of facebook that allowed me to send IM's into and out of the world and invite people to groups from outside the grid but was linked directly to Second Life. I could even have my own mailbox then.

Event announcements, social networking, they'd all improve dramatically from something like this. I could sign up to plenty of inworld update groups and receive them in my facebook like mailbox and no worries about IM limits.

Maybe LL should form some sort of strategic alliance with facebook, that might have potential. I think LL will need to seriously consider this sort of route, Second Life is the world we visit, the grid which they keep banging on about is the wider business model and this could fit into the grid architecture.
