A few more uses of Second Life's custom registration portal API: http://secondlife.reuters.com/stories/2007/05/04/new-orientation-islands-take-off/ http://www.timewarner.com/corp/newsroom/pr/0,20812,1675445,00.html http://freshtakes.typepad.com/sl_communicators/2007/06/slbc_meeting_tr.html http://blogs.electricsheepcompany.com/cory/?p=30 http://virtualworlds.nmc.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/press-release-nmc-virtual-worlds-2008-plans.pdf
More information about the API is at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/RegAPI . Looks like they're limiting new signups, but I have no idea how strictly. My company does Second Life work, so I might get to find out sometime soon....
