Check out our existing 2D IRC chat:
This has served us well at SS for a number of years and we are not taking it away, but last week we debuted a different kind of chat which we are continuing to build upon.
Last Friday we demoed the Second Life 3D world on Script School Radio and a number of you checked out the Chalet which is shaping up to be our virtual world chatting place. If you missed seeing the Chalet last week, it’s taken on many forms throughout the week and here is the ground before building:
Now compare the IRC chat at the top to the new 3D stage with slideshow, group chat and streaming live audio here:
If that isn’t cool as it already is, then check this out. Every Friday during the show we are going to do $L$L$L giveaways starting with today’s show.
For those not familiar a Linden dollar, these are the currency in Second Life and can be converted into a real $USD so this means we are giving away money every Friday.
Today for show #268 we’re going to give away over $1,000 Linden dollars and every week in 2006 we’ll give more $L than the week before. Who knows how much it will get up to?!
We’re also in the process of looking for much, much bigger land so we will be able to setup bigger in world labs, item dropping and sharing and much more. BTW, we’re going to pay a $500L (minimum) finder’s fee for the person who recommends land we end up buying.
Also, we have setup a couple Script School groups where we’re going to be doing even more fun stuff and giving folks a chance to earn free $Lindens.
Lastly, if you didn’t join up with us last week and/or don’t yet have a Second Life account then visit: http://www.secondlife.com/join/ and in the referral spot please put in my Second Life name: TD Goodliffe
It is FREE to join Second Life and the only major dffferences (that we know about so far anyway) between a free account and a premium (paid) account are:
- free accounts cannot own land (this means if you want to run your own business, you may have to rent land if you don’t want to become a premium member)
- free accounts earn $50L weekly stipend while premium (paid) accounts earn $500L per week
REFERRAL BONUS
Any webmaster who signs up under me: TD Goodliffe will earn a special bonus (more $L$L$) at the following Friday’s show. On today’s show, bonues will be handed out to those who signed up under me last week.
Also, by putting me in as the referral I’ll be able to easily see when you sign online so I can invite you directly to the Chalet where we’ll be during the live show today.
Isn’t this fun? Hope to see all that can make it, we have lots of new stuff planned in 2006! We’re just getting started …
Next show - Show #268 - Friday Jan 13, 2006: The official 2 hours of Tech Lineup.
NOTE: As of show #238, Script School radio now runs 90 minutes and Webmaster Cookbook runs 30 minutes, which still makes it the two hours of tech radio show. We’re trying to reduce the podcasting time, as it seems shorter is generally more preferred in the podsphere and also 60 minutes just wasn’t quite enough time for Script School radio.
Wow, this is our 9th Friday the 13th show at Script School! Today we’ll continue helping webmasters get acquainted with the new integration with the Chalet for Script School inside Second Life. Below you’ll find a picture of the new Chalet, stage and slideshow. Each week in 2006 we’re going to give away more $Lindens than the week before starting with $1,000+ today with show #268. Also:
