Avatars as Personal Brands is the kick off panel scheduled for tomorrow at Orange Island.
Times of the discussions are on the graphic at right (click to enlarge - and remember these times given are on Second Life Time/ US Pacific Time) and on my 30 boxes calendar (there listed in "my time" or EST).
see box in left column of the blog that will give you highlights and take you to the larger calendar
First thing that popped into my head was - why is Second Life such an insiders kind of place? Why didn't they ask Connie Reece - or her Reece Llewellyn Second Life incarnation to be on one of these panels?
For Connie / Reece or as all of twitterville knows her: @conniereece, the whole pink hair in real life to go along with the pink hair in Second Life to go along with the pink boa in her photo is inspired.

I'm only glad I could play a part of pointing out a place to get Pink hair. Even though I didn't know at the time that's what she'd come home wearing.
But back to avatars. It seems to me like what we see, the image in front of us on the screen, has a lot to do with how we come to think of the person on the other end, whether we ever meet them in person or not. And Connie and her hot pinkness kind of personifies that.
It's almost too much to think about. And I've got too much to say to do both that and remind you about this avatar event.
I'm going to do my best to be at the 9am and 11am discussions at a minimum, as well as checking in when I can.
I hope to learn a lot and see some great examples. Our digital selves and the 3-d web are in their infancy. There's a lot to digest and consider.
