2013 PROMO: WRITE: Promoting Events in SL: Blogs

Promoting Events in SL:  Blogs
-


-

Blogs are good for promoting events in Second Life.  That is my opinion, anyway.   If you follow this blog, you will see that it announces and promotes selected events in Second Life.

2013 BIZ: Experts on the meaning of Second Life (virtual existentialism)

Experts on the meaning of Second Life (virtual existentialism)
-
Botgirl took the long view of debates about what Second Life is.
http://botgirl.blogspot.com/2010/12/problem-with-second-life-as-game.html
-
As collaborators, she brought in the six wise men of Hindustan
  • Six wise men of Hindustan
  • To learning much inclined,
  • Went to see the Elephant
  • (Though all of them were blind),
  • That each by observation
  • Might satisfy his mind[8]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant
-
Each found and felt a different part and so reached different conclusions.  The elephant was like a snake, a rope, a tree-trunk, a wall, etc.
==============================
Botgirl:
"Second Life is a game in the same way that Microsoft Word is a program for writing game articles. Yeah, it can be used that way, but Word is a document platform that supports anything one might want to write about. And Second Life is a 3D virtual environment platform that can and does support a multitude of uses. At this very moment people are using Second Life for a diverse variety of purposes such as 
  • business meetings, 
  • recreational shopping, 
  • concerts, 
  • digital sculpture, 
  • sensual encounters
  • gaming."
==============================
Mitch Wagner (aka Copper Robot) posted this blog:
Why I hardly ever go on Second Life anymore

-
"inconvenient"
-
"takes time"

-


And later moderated his comments:  Actually, I still like Second Life
============================
Wagner James Au (NWN) partly agreed.
"Besides hardcore gaming, it's difficult to think of other non-passive online leisure activities that a large group of adults will devote their undivided attention to for large swathes of time. (Say over a half hour or more.)"

=========================
Dusan Writer commented:
" By being inconvenient, it puts us in a place where we log-in with intent – something that you don’t find with Twitter or Facebook."
=========================

"the real killer content is Second Life is interactions with other people. We listen to live music. Attend book readings. Attend classes and meetings. Socialize in bars and nightclubs. The “content creators” of these events are people who show up and play music, read from their books."

2013 VIDEO: ART: Psychosomatic Rebuilding, a kind of ADHD video

Psychosomatic Rebuilding
-

-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51LfCHYvyCQ
-
 Olza Koenkamp:  "Psychosomatic Rebuilding" refers to a characteristic visual style whose main subjects are characters or creatures called psomms. They are portraits (mostly self portraits) of body-mind states and feelings. Psomms are flat graphics, drawings, stickers, objects, architecture projects, but also 3d avatars and objects in the virtual world of Second Life, where they could be used for acting in machinmas or as tools in art/sociology experiments.
Olza Koenkamp: it's sort of description to most of my things.
Olza Koenkamp: It's kind of ADHD video, isnt it?

=====================
Grand tour.
After a year on hiatus, The Grand Tour returns to second life! The “All Aboard Grand Tour” will be Saturday and Sunday, February 19 and 20, 2011.  The tour includes 15 different locations with a theme of trains and transportation.
-
The Grand Tour began in 2007 as a positive  expression  after some unpopular decisions by Linden Lab left many residents discouraged.  A few people got together and created the marathon event. The All Aboard Grand Tour is the fifth tour. The creator of the event, Fogwoman Gray, summarizes the purpose, which had become the motto of all grand tours: “To bring all nations and groups together to demonstrate why we stay and what is important.
-
The tour this year includes exciting new events including music festivals, mysteries and even a hobo ball. The full schedule is listed below. Landmarks are available in world, and at each venue. Everyone is invited to jump on the tour wherever and whenever  they wish.  All time zones should find some events that are convenient; we are looking forward to greeting both old and new friends. Co chairs, or this year’s “Gandy Dancers” Breezy Carver and Rose Springvale will be available throughout the tour to answer questions, deal with problems and keep the Grand Tour Train on track. All Aboard!
