It's been a little more than one year since I entered into Second Life and what a wild ride that's been! My original inspiration was a talk given by Phil Rosedale, Linden Labs founder, asking the question "What happens when we digitize everything?" I was intrigued and since then, you could say I've become something of an SL fan, having spent sometime there nearly everyday. I've made really great friendships there... and while it's caused some real life friction from time to time, I'd say that I wouldn't change anything. Despite all the dancing and goofing off that's gone on, there is still an underlying feeling that we're there for the dawn of a new internet age, and not just part of some game. Evidence of that, in my case, is the fact that I've been giving a business presentation to people in SL on a fairly regular basis... probably 25 people have sat through it and the acceptance of the message and format has been awesome.
I continue to modify the presentation, and it's probably due for a more major overhaul now that I've gotten fresh feedback and ideas. Tonight, I gave my first 'voice' presentation... until now, the presentations have been text, including hyperlinks, matched to some visual aids. Look forward to the introduction of some new topics in the presentation, links to this blog and an auto-responder email that will go on to explain more information to folks about the business.
What's the aim? Well, I want to let people know about this great company, I want to deliver information regarding the business opportunity, I want to use the tools of the internet to do it, bringing lifestyle into the equation; in this case, the wireless lifestyle that Apple, Inc. focused on heavily at this week's MacWorld convention, with the introduction of the MacBook Air.
Okay, that's it for now...
Peace,
Graham
