I'm getting ready for the Second Life reunion party today. I want to find some new hair to match my own salt &amp;amp; pepper look. So might do a little shopping before the event.&lt;br /&gt;

You can get to the party using this SLURL (you need a Second Life account to get there - it's free!):&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Shiny%20Falls/209/30/1502"&gt;http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Shiny%20Falls/209/30/1502&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I'm back to bumping into walls, flying into trees, and feeling like a stranger in a strange land. And yet, it also feels like returning home but with different eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij7I_JzX5_tyX7dRgFfA30E9rfj_GcmsKRjh46jKVsP_pOT21aWE2nFZREzWEWGEkfX9w0I5g6U_j0H-iwwKHCWxqUZ9sI7tt1LxOwxGJlSJIkpbPHi2Qn7ZkVZZ8ba1L740mKhMRtvuU/s1600/cybergrrljuly2011_003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij7I_JzX5_tyX7dRgFfA30E9rfj_GcmsKRjh46jKVsP_pOT21aWE2nFZREzWEWGEkfX9w0I5g6U_j0H-iwwKHCWxqUZ9sI7tt1LxOwxGJlSJIkpbPHi2Qn7ZkVZZ8ba1L740mKhMRtvuU/s400/cybergrrljuly2011_003.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just checked out &lt;a href="http://www.utherverse.com/"&gt;Utherverse&lt;/a&gt; today, and once again fully appreciated what we have in Second Life. The avatars over there were fidgety and dressed like they were ready for a pole. I did find a conservative outfit to attend a virtual convention, but then never could really find the presenters or many attendees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbUTtMJHhiqebjpLTUSmOrr_9n54wd_6ljRqimdxM2XJHp8zOrMqSLtYZzmvX9KUGdyo2Ux14UdsEJdrvTYHHV8QtmOkoWbnS4JB4DA_OJ-BruP92fLNKx1E2KFs8tHsBfGSZBTbyeOBI/s1600/Utherverse+VWW+Client-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbUTtMJHhiqebjpLTUSmOrr_9n54wd_6ljRqimdxM2XJHp8zOrMqSLtYZzmvX9KUGdyo2Ux14UdsEJdrvTYHHV8QtmOkoWbnS4JB4DA_OJ-BruP92fLNKx1E2KFs8tHsBfGSZBTbyeOBI/s400/Utherverse+VWW+Client-5.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I want to be supportive of virtual spaces for online conventions and events so will certainly attend another if I can figure out how to get where I need to be. Like any space, one can get lost. Finding one's way - and finding others to help show the way - is always a great moment in a virtual world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Nothing she read  seemed to have the romantic element she knew was possible in such  relationships. Challenged by a friend to write a better one, she wrote  her first full-length novel, Secret Submission.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Each book Diana writes contains a kernel of truth or deeply held  conviction from her own life, but don't ask her where truth ends and  fantasy begins, she'll never tell! When not writing, Diana is  either at her loom, weaving thread lines of a different sort, or playing  Mommy-taxi to her two teenage children. Married for over twenty-five  years to the same man, she is grateful for all the wonderful  encouragement he gives her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://www.dianahunter.net&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Meet Diana this Thursday, September 2nd at 11:00 AM SLT/PST at &lt;a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rezzed%20TV%20Island/42/210/25"&gt;http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rezzed%20TV%20Island/42/210/25&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Want   to be a guest on the show?

He  set about leading a band of like minded individuals and subsequently  many thousands of colleagues in IBM into virtual worlds like Second Life  in 2006, and beyond. This sparked the massive growth in interest from  enterprises and press alike. As a public figure in Web 2.0 and a leading  blogger on &lt;a href="http://www.eightbar.com/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','www.eightbar.com']);"&gt;http://www.eightbar.com&lt;/a&gt;  he has shown that leadership can be driven by the digital native and  innovators can gather together regardless of geography or organization.  Cultural and technology changes and new ways to operate across companies  is a core theme. In 2008 he received the first industry award for &lt;a href="http://www.virtualworldsnews.com/2008/09/virtual-worlds.html" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','www.virtualworldsnews.com']);"&gt;Innovation in Virtual Worlds in the Enterprise&lt;/a&gt;  . As a digital native his epredator persona spans many Web 2.0 places,  blogs, PSN, WoW, Xbox Live, Twitter, Flickr, Linkedin etc. Understanding  how to use that presence, still representing himself but with elements  of theatre brought about by more creative expression online leads him to  no longer be the programmer he grew up as.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Virtual worlds also extend to more than just entertainment or  corporate communication. Representing past cultures, existing places,  instrumenting the planet, showing business process models in actions the  list goes on. Metaverses can also be used to deliver virtual goods, but  now making those virtual goods real again is possible. Rapid  fabrication and the rise of the fabricaneur heralds another phase in our  existence online&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A former IBM Consulting IT Specialist who has worked on leading edge  emerging technologies for the past 20 years, and now an independent  consultant and director of &lt;a href="http://www.feedingedge.co.uk/"&gt;Feeding Edge Ltd&lt;/a&gt;.  A programmer since he was 14. As a gamer he has seen a massive increase  in the capability and design ethics within games and the rise of online  gaming. In 1997 Ian started working on all things web, changing his  perspective on the technology and the business due the much richer mix  of people involved in the web revolution. Graphic Designer, Producers  and Programmers all having to work together.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As a public speaker he shares his experiences both of the growing  virtual worlds industry, the changes in culture, personal experiences of  challenging the status quo and leading through doing.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;He is chairman of the British Computer Society Animation and Games  Specialist Group.

Within a few weeks, I started blogging about my experiences in Second&lt;br /&gt;Life. I got my first SL writing job working for Second Chick, a now defunct women's blog. My editor, Zillow&lt;br /&gt;Dejavu, taught me about taking photos in SL. Since then, I have written and photographed for Role&lt;br /&gt;Magazine, OI Magazine, Siren Magazine and Help People Island blog. At the moment, I write for Press&lt;br /&gt;Pass Media and write and edit for AFK Magazine, as well as my own blogs Savoy Cabbage Journeys and&lt;br /&gt;2nd Journal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always wanted to write in real life and, finally, all my SL writing has inspired me to begin a novel on&lt;br /&gt;Textnovel. I also write poetry and short stories. My other interests are Autism/Asperger's Syndrome and&lt;br /&gt;art and, in SL, writing about business, the arts and people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meet Se7en this Thursday, August 12th at 11:00 AM SLT/PST at &lt;a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rezzed%20TV%20Island/42/210/25"&gt;http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rezzed%20TV%20Island/42/210/25&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Want   to be a guest on the show?

I was recently asked the question:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;What problems with real life marketing are solved by using &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://secondlife.com/" rel="homepage nofollow" title="Second Life"&gt;Second Life&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My response was:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;This question could be easily answered with these questions:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;What problems with real life marketing are solved by using email newsletters?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;What problems with real life marketing are solved by using a &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Website"&gt;web site&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;What problems with real life marketing are solved by using an online press room?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Offline or "real life" marketing has many limitations that have been clearly revealed over the last 15 years since the advent of online marketing. And what have we learned?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Online marketing provides us with:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;exponentially greater reach&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;more efficient processes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;time/money savers (when leveraged well)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;cross timezone/cross geography (eliminate barriers of location)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;more customer touchpoints&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;So it stands to reason, that executed well, Second Life marketing provides:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;exponentially greater reach&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;more efficient processes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;time/money savers (when leveraged well)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;cross timezone/cross geography (eliminate barriers of location)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;more customer touchpoints&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLqEiqPu5yKudQU2UBbHo09FO21krbS6XswuYNNDtInrdsWZ0XDbGiB0kmIQDfS3Gj-bLCJ9Bd1XmhCUTz5DIW8HaxiVvV9bY-g_kbpr_27s998pexm83Lds4RtvWtxuQuXyojUFdbKdM/s1600/1stquestino_010.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLqEiqPu5yKudQU2UBbHo09FO21krbS6XswuYNNDtInrdsWZ0XDbGiB0kmIQDfS3Gj-bLCJ9Bd1XmhCUTz5DIW8HaxiVvV9bY-g_kbpr_27s998pexm83Lds4RtvWtxuQuXyojUFdbKdM/s400/1stquestino_010.bmp" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;We don't think of real life marketing that we do as "solving problems"&lt;/b&gt; although it could be construed that way. You could say marketing &lt;i&gt;solves the problems&lt;/i&gt; of lack of awareness, a weak brand, lack of customers, etc. - it addresses a "lack" to get a "gain" such as brand awareness, sales (or donations), customer service (or serving a constituency), etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Why would we frame a question about marketing in Second Life as needing to solve a problem?&lt;/b&gt; You can also say that marketing in Second Life does &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;address&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; the problems of lack of awareness, a weak brand, lack of customers, etc. - it addresses a "lack" to get a "gain" such as brand awareness, sales (or donations), customer service (or serving a constituency), etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;But marketing in general - regardless of the platform - isn't really solving problems but enhancing things, right? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pitting Second Life against "real life marketing" doesn't make sense. Instead, simply look at Second Life as another tool in a strategic, effective and efficient marketing toolkit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;How are YOU using Second Life to market? &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Nika Dreamscape, here. I am a new assistant to Cybergrrl Oh and will be contributing on this blog from time to time, so I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. I also do some blogging and occasional podcasting of my own, and help Stuart Warf behind the scenes at Rezzed.tv. So, it is my pleasure to be working with Cybergrrl Oh now, as well. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to take this time to give everyone a couple of brief updates. The show will be on a brief hiatus for a couple of weeks, as both Cybergrrl and Stuart will be traveling on business. But, we will be returning before you know it, and we have a couple of great guests lined up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please join us on Thursday, May 13th as we chat with &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Shenlei Flasheart&lt;/span&gt; of Fashion Research Institute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, on Thursday, May 20th we will be joined by &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Aleja Asturias&lt;/span&gt; of the GimpGirl Community to discuss disability and SL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, please be aware that the Rezzed.tv Ampitheatre where the Cybergrrl Oh shows are held has moved slightly. It is still located on the same sim, but has changed location to another parcel.
