Registering for SL from Other Sites

The Business Communicators of Second Life have reported on an item in the new LL TOS; namely, the upcoming functionality for registration from sites other than SL's own. What this means, in essence, is for a third party to easily integrate their brand into a user's experience. As an example: if Bloomingdale's wants to point users of their website to their unique SL content, the user would be able to register for a new SL account right from Bloomie's website, providing a seamless experience.

While this functionality is not quite active as yet, BCSL mentions that at least two companies -- Dell and NBC -- have already implemented the feature into their sites, showing their willingness to jump into this growing phenomenon of RL companies coming into SL. LL has not at this time revealed when the API will be available for use.
