Videoblogging Week - Day One - Second Life Tours
We’ve noticed a large amount of Second Life Video Feeds being added to Mefeedia. I like to think of it as “Videoblogging for Avatars.”
I’ve been hanging out over there, on and off, for the last few months, but I haven’t gone very far because it’s hard to know where to go and Second Life’s “Search” functions have yet to be effectively enabled.
So far, I’ve had to be lucky enough to stumble across the few places I’ve been able to find, so I’ve decided to start keeping track of my visits using SL’s built-in video capture feature, and visit, record, and vlog a new locale for every day of Videobloggingweek 2007. I’ll always provide a “slurl” (a “second life url”) for each location I visit, so you can teleport there easily if you’d like.
In today’s clip, I teleported from this mefeedia record into Second Life’s designated area for non-profits, Commonwealth Island (Teleport Now - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Commonwealth%20Island/77/83/22) — which is described as a “commonspace for Progressive organizations.”
For music, I chose one of my own Creative Commons licensed remixes from CC Mixter.
Remember to include the slurl for your location within the description when you upload your own Second Life videos to your preferred hosting site, so that others may teleport to that location if they wish straight from that video’s Mefeedia record. You can find your location’s coordinates in the middle top of your Second Life application window.
You can take a digital picture of your Second Life world to use as a thumbnail using its “Snapshot to Disk” feature, located in the File menu.
