I was prompted, to this line of thinking, by reading comments (specifically the comments, not the article) on an article over on The Age’s blog pages.

The folks over at NMC have got audio of three of the speeches from the Second Life Community Convention on their media server:
Mitch Kapor (which was transcript reported by Mark Wallace over at 3PointD)
Phillip Rosedale (also now transcript reported by Mark)
Larry Johnson (of NMC, his accompanying post here)
A little surprised that Linden Lab didn’t plan [...]

I mentioned Ordinal Malaprop’s freebie slurlblogger in my last post and that ‘if you were using it to’…
Well… I couldn’t resist :-) so I have expanded and modified it and called it SL_Email_HUD (HUD = Head Up Display). It has effectively become a general email HUD tool in addition to its original capability of being [...]

Second Life (SL) is, according to Linden Lab, about ‘the world’, ‘the creations’ and ‘the market place’ - no mention of a game. It has been reported as a ‘game’ by mainstream media, however, being compared to the likes of The Sims Online or World of Warcraft.

Building in Second Life
Well, welcome aboard, it is to me too. Having a ‘rezday’ (the day you’re ‘born’, or rezzed, or painted on screen in this 3D environment) in July 2006 definitely makes me a ‘newbie’. And ‘OMG’ (’Oh my god’) I haven’t even been seriously ‘grief’ed (hassled ‘in- world’ verbally or physically) yet!
Jargon aside [...]
