Accessing my Help Island in ReactionGrid from the comfort of my browser. Next on my list is my sim in 3rd Rock Grid. I tried logging into Second Life but my dsl does not steam fast enough to do so. This is an amazing step forward in browser access of my favorite virtual worlds.

You can access the Unity driven browser access by BuiltBuy.Me here. Also, take some time to check out Tipodean Technologies here.

Congratulations to Chris Collins (formerly of Linden Lab) on a job well done on taking us to the next level.

Second Life Related Blogs I Follow

noreply@blogger.com (Tinsel Silvera) — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 01:33:00 +0000

Since the demise of the World of SL page, I have had to rely more on building my own RSS Feed Reader to keep up with what is happening in the Second Life Community.

I use the Google Reader simply because I have found it the easiest to work with. Periodically I go through my subscriptions and weed out those who no longer blog, broken links, etc. I currently have 108 subscriptions of which 17 are directly related to Second Life. The remaining deal with virtual worlds, social applications and general subjects of interest to me.

I currently follow these Second Life related blogs:

~ Apollo Manga
~ Avatars In Motion
~ Botgirl's Second Life
~ DGP4SL Blog
~ Dusan Writer's Metaverse
~ Fashion + Freebies for Men
~ Guy Stuff SL
~ Honour's Post Menopausal View
~ Nalates' Things & Stuff
~ New World Notes
~ Phaylen Fairchild Productions
~ Second Life Community Convention
~ Second Life Made Easy
~ Second Life of My Dreams
~ Second Life Official Blog
~ Second Thoughts
~ Telling: Like It Is

I deliberately avoid blogs that concentrate on Linden Lab/Second Life bashing. I have never been one to remain in situations that made me unhappy - why these people do continues to mystify me 4 years on.

Looking over this list I wonder what this says about me as a Second Life resident. I am sure someone with a degree in Psychology could analyze this list and determine my avatar personality. Or would that be my own personality? It is hard to differentiate sometimes.

Which reminds me. I should take a look at who I follow on Twitter as well.

Edited to add Honour McMillan's blogsite to my list. Her current post just came through on my Reader. If you are not subscribing to her site then you should. She takes amazing photos.
