Day 10

After I got bored of looking around I decided o interact/Socialise with other people and I found that after talking to most people on the game were just socialising with friends who they know. A few people were looking to make new friends and I only found 1 person who was on there for business.

If I were to just socialise with friends online I would use Facebook. I mean if you think about it Facebook can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection, Second life you would have to install it on every machine.

Day 7

Over the past few days all I have done is browsed and looked to see what free stuff I can get. Below is a screen shot of the first interactive object which I was able to obtain free stuff from clothes to accessories.

Day 5

After a couple of times looking around the virtual world I was amazed to come across so many object to interact with. I couldn’t believe how sad it was when I came across a chair and a message popped up saying ‘do you want to sit down’. I mean how pointless and weird that is!!!


During my time on Second life I experienced the so called new feature where the user is able to fly around so they can get where they need to go quicker. Below is a screen shot of me exploring the sites.

My Second life Avatar

Day 1

The first day on second life I didn’t really do much because I spent most of the time looking at the interface and Navigation.

First thing I did was customising my own Avatar and played around to see what was available. At first I thought that there would be loads of options of clothes and designs but after was disappointed to find only a small selection of clothes.

Scond Life - First thoughts

I would like to begin with by saying that I DONT LIKE SECOND LIFE!!! I think Second Life is just a way for antisocial people to communicate and make a 3d Avatar of themselves to hide away from the real world. But aside from being lame it has a benefit for in-world-businesses residents as they can promote and show off their company virtually.
