Seven years is an impressive age for any online world, when many virtual worlds and MMORPG's fall by the wayside well before that age.

This week, Second Life reached that age and celebrated with its annual birthday sims, events and more.

The party was run over just a single week, compared to previous years two, but as always, it is themed.

This year's theme was "Unexpected Collaborations," which leaves a lot to the imagination.

The 6th annual Second Life Community Convention (SLCC) will take place in Boston, August 13-15, at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel and Towers, with a new organizing committee at the helm. AvaCon, Inc. has taken over the reins for the convention with a team experienced in the production of conferences and conventions.

The date July 24th was chosen as the date for International Femdom Day as a day for celebrating dominant women - 7/24 - seven days a week and 24 hours a day. There are real life celebrations going on from St. Louis and New York to Berlin and beyond. The Femdom Community in SL group is bringing the whole event virtual for those who do not have the opportunity for a RL venue.
