[audio=http://media.libsyn.com/media/agentkosso/kozcast2.mp3]
DOWNLOAD PODCAST MP3 HERE
This one is more focussed on my Second Life. Still a bit of a ramble (just the way I like it) - tangential thoughts and ideas. No outline. Podcasting by the seat of my (flexi) pants! Woo!
I made the intro music here, using sounds […]
Dana Gardner Has Second Thoughts
What makes Second Life eerily powerful is the zero-distance between thinkers and technology by ZDNet’s Dana Gardner (and the ‘Briefings Direct’ podcast)– There is an egalitarian equalizing effect when your avatar IMs with another … even if you know who they are. There’s a comfort level with being virtual, and the IBMers seemed eager […]

Well, it turns out that something many people has thought is true - the daily dollar amount which Linden Lab tout as spent is actually (simply) total […]
Virtual Customer Service Wins
James Corbett, ‘The Eirepreneur’ hits the nail on the head about customer service in Second Life, while he was at the blogHUD station. So many times when I have been around wanting to buy something, I have found myself in vast emporiums with no one around to help me. I often right-click something I like, […]
Take It Or Leave It
According to blogHUD user Dedric Mauriac, a version of the TV show ‘Deal Or No Deal’ has hit the metaverse, called ‘Take It Or Leave It’
Great idea!!
Dedric is also building a Wheel of Fortune (I think ) in SL too!
Building Reality
Just found this great video of a a presentation (wmv) from Linden Labs’ Cory Ondrejka (Cory Linden) and Jim Purbrick (Babbage Linden) from the Microsoft Lang.NET Conference in August - called ‘Building Reality : User-Creation and Scripting in Second Life’.
It’s mostly the slides and audio, but well worth it for the introduction into SL from […]
