why second life is 2.0

* you are talking to real people instead of cartoon characters generated by system
* there is a real miniture economy existing through the buying and selling of linden $ using US$ and the buying and selling of land plots and islands (US$1000+)
*one can add to the environment by undertaking building projects. constructing a shop for example adds both to the landscape and to the online economy when goods are bought.

ways of interaction:
*with people - chatting, dancing, fraternalizing.. or even paying (does that ever happen?)
*with objects - through note cards, actions (as in you sit in a chair to earn money or you are expelled from an unauthorized territory)and learning the limits (private property wall).
*with the system - "WHY IS MY VIRTUAL MEMORY SO LOW???"

Second Life

I have created a second life account and immediately found myself short on linden$s......

good thing is there are freebie islands to visit

bad thing is, my computer runs reeeeeeeeeally slowly as a result

I'm still getting used to how things are run that island, have to say that most people look slightly funny in the way they move about and observe surroundings

P.S. Apparently you can scrub floors to earn 1linden/15 minutes or camp out on the bench

this is an activity tracker for my web2.0 class, where i say what i did and when (computer-related of course), so here it goes:

first day of class: i edited the wikileyan page, suggesting that green onions be added to jim morey's recipe of pancakes

i created my gmail account and this blog and my page on the course website
