Second generation library

Today there was an opening session today on Library 2.0 in SL, announced at http://infoisland.org

While people were sitting neatly in world at the auditorium, almost not chatting in public, there was an audio interview streamed (outside of SL, at the Worldbridges channel). I may have missed a tour of the surroundings, but I took some nice snapshots of those sitting people apparently listening. And I took notes of their names, looking up the personal infos, as I knew literally nobody present (at least not from their play names

I'm a bit intrigued about the need for getting together in a hefty graphic 3D environment, just for listening to streaming audio; as far as I could see, nothing else was happening, Yes, we were virtually present, somehow. Interacting socially, apparently not much.

The event will repeat, or continue, tomorrow Sunday 21 at 3 pm PST /2300 GMT

But you will not find me among the silent listeners this time.

2007 - and then what?

This year will bring more new Webheads activities and I hope to take part in some of these. However, time flies and I really need to focus on my Danish work projects at the moment. I've been working on a blog showing all of my virtual footprints, sort of a portfolio blog thing, in Danish. I made it at edublogs as we had a blogging project with about 300 Danish student teachers and their teachers getting into blogging, in December 06. My Footprint blog is supposed to be the most frequently updated - hopefully. Another initiative is the secondlifedk.blogspot.com co-blog where I was generously invited jo join, by CVU Sonderjylland's social web innovators, Lis Faurholt and Hanne Soegaard. We started out with enthusiasm, but there has not been mucg activity lately, I'd better post a few thoughts and notes soon.

That was just for the update, will be back soon!

I'm in SL and on this occastion some weeks ago, I had so many beginner problems. One thing I really did not udnerstand by then, was how to navigate around and find my own feet, while also folloing a group event. I wanted to see people and the location from allpossible views, which, in turn, made it very hard for me to follow instructions and help efforts. Now I begin to understand why people build meeting places with chairs to sit on, simåly to make us slowdown and have the attention on the stage area, so to speak.

More from Second LIfe

My second visit to Second life was more succesful!
I made a flight over the landscape which gave a fairly good perspective, but no real orientation. After all I was looking for one specific location without knowing the direction, the Education Island. Yesterday's text search for this did give me zero result; today I had bingo and moved over to open the gate (created by gavin, first sign of actual succes!9 I also did a search for Webheads, but got the business card from Graham Stanley from Barcelona, forgot his secret - or second - identity just now. And had to reboot because of a frozen screen. Good thing was that I could get in touch with Vance on Skype, and ask him a bit for details. His actual notes are here, with links and such. www.vancestevens.com/online_events.htm#current
Webheads are now hanging out at Tapped In, as usual on Sundays around 12 noon GMT. I'll join them and see whazzup. Probably some will join us for the Webcastathon in Second Life in 20 minutes...
More again soon, promise!
