Watching Videoblogs in Second Life
I've seen David's device in action and it works pretty darned well.
 clipped from mmeiser.com |  | Videoblogging in Second Life As part the Videoblogging Week 2007 theme "crossing borders", Lisa Rein has done an excellent series of posts on videoblogging in Second Life. As part of the series Chicago based videoblogger Davide Meade has created this amazing video of an interface he's created for videoblogs in Second Life. Complete with a channel changer and multiple screens. If you have second life installed you can check it out by visiting the below SLURL... that's a Second Life Uniform Resource Locator or Second Life URL for you geeks. :) See it in Second Life: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Gyeongju/113/158/74 |

Why SL Fails Marketers :: GapingVoid Finds SL "Creepy"
I have deep respect for Hugh MacLeod's marketing saavy.
But this MacLeod comment makes me shake my head
"...Second Life is PRETTY DARN CREEPY."SL isn't creepy if you've purpose in being there. Whether it's scripting or building or making machinima, or listening to ten cutting-edge nanotechnologists theorize about the future.
MacLeod links to a GigaOM piece that explores the failure of SL marketing efforts in depth. Read the comments.
What digital marketers fail to respect is the idea that the Internet wants to remain free. More than that, eyeballs are gained by engaging those eyeballs in productive activity.
Create a space in which avatars have something to DO, be, create. Give 'em purpose.
Giving useful stuff away works, too.
The benefits of the best digital marketing - as with most digital benefits - are largely indirect, and comprised of multiple layers of good will. And good will takes time. Time for word of mouth. Time to build streed cred.

Re-Vlog :: My Buddy Clark of ZipZapZop.com
ZipZapZop.com is in SL. Know Clark Saturn from the Vlogosphere. He's one helluva guy. His regular vlog always surprises. Mr. Saturn often reads from the Tao Te Ching, writes and plays his own music, and at least used to do "naked Fridays" that always gave me a tingle.
We've been out of touch for a while since he moved upstate and will any day now be a father.
This is the first of his machinima I've seen.
Way to go, Clark.

Ban Lines :: No Entry!
From the Grid

Gah. Ugly. Ugly.
Seeing "No Entry" scripts makes being in SL suck. Might as well be in the real world.
Thank, Ordinal, for ramping up the discussion.

Nikola Tesla, NYC
This bust of Nikola Tesla appears in front of the church that sits between 5th and 6th Avenues on the north side of 25th St. in New York City.
As a steampunk wannabe in Second Life, thought it would be appropriate to share.

Meta Metaverse :: Machinima Advertising
Thanks to Twitter-pal Prokofy Neva, this video.
Does that make this vlog post 'meta-meta-metaverse'? I think so.

Power Move for Ze Frank
From Second Life. This is an example of the heart of viral advertising, people. Move a community to bring the best parts of themselves forward. Ze Fuckin' Frank gets it. Not everybody has what it takes to build a community. It is a rare and beautiful thing. Jay Dedman's got it, too. This kind of leader is charisma on crack. This is something that cannot be taught, bought or bottled. Valuable on the scale of supply & demand. Ze Frank moves me. I'd sooner be addicted to movement than sugar.

SL on CBS Sunday Morning with David Pogue
Watch the video that features Eric Rice (known in-world as Spin Martin) HERE.
How did they do that Pogue morph at the end???
Here's Pogue's NY Times blog post on Second Life.
Wish CBS allowed its videos to travel down RSS pipes.
Sigh.
