You Might LIke This Nov 14 2007 edition I Susan Reynolds is Tynan Clary in Second Life & one of us created this list. You can read my blog about new media and other creative and geeky endeavors, plus some personal stuff because my two worlds pretty much are one at http://www.artsyasylum.com. Follow my Second Life tumblr time line at http://tynanclary.tumblr.com/ And of course we must conect on twitter - http://twitter.com/susanreynolds ---------- All these places are free to visit. And enjoy. But the businesses listed are trying to generate an income for themselves. Since I believe in adding to the SL economy I also support spending some money - maybe $20 or so - to create an avitar that really does represent you in the virtual world, You'll find plenty of people to give you lists of places you can get freebies. And I'm not against freebies. But I think that if you want to show a serious interest in any technology - including virtual worlds - investing a couple of dollars isn't too much to ask. ------------------- My Place I've built a shared office complex The link to the footbridge to the offices is: http://snurl.com/1tpkx (the low building w/ lanai & firecircle is where you want to go, The 2 story house is a private residence.) Enjoy the minibar & poke around. Sit in the chairs but please don't interrupt meetings. In other words, be nice and you'll be welcome to visit. I'll be glad to talk with you about how you might use the space for your office space in SL too. We're opem to having lots of different talents & interests among the people who either use it to network, have meetings or as their "nominal: Second Life office space. Unless you're included in the office group list please don't use the offices as if they were your own. -------------------- HELP You can always use a pointer or two.
