Swedish Connection

Bobbi, Hanna, and I went to "Hawaii Maui Beceri's and Jali's Island" today. We rode jet ski's, sail boards and went swimming. We also sat in a hot air balloon and had a few drinks at their bar. They brought along a new friend Lotte from Holland. She is the one who suggested the island. It was a great experience with lots of interactive animations. My Swedish connection partners have agreed to continue meeting after completing my first short essay.

Swedish Connection

Bobbi, Hanni and I met today Feb 16th and went to a place some of their classmates had been to called "Weather Island". We came across an advertisement for surfing and teleported to the location ( I forgot to landmark the area) and checked out the surfboards that you could buy there. We didn't have time to see if we could actually use them to go surfing. I think we will return there on our next excursion to figure out how to surf.

Swedish Connection

Bobbi, Hanna , and I met on Monday Feb 9th. I took them to Yadni's junkyard to try on some free clothes and then we went to Info Island. Both of them are very new to second life so we spent most of our time talking about how to use some of their avatar's functions.

Short Essay Introduction

According to Linden Research Incorporated, “nearly $35 million U.S. dollars are traded between second life residents monthly”. Linden Research Incorporated also stated that, “over $100 million U.S. dollars worth of Linden dollars (Second Life currency) were bought and sold on the Lindex (Second Life stock market) during 2008”. Second life entrepreneurs are able to buy and sell almost anything that they can create. In fact, there are thousands of businesses in Second Life. All of this may be hard to comprehend, but with claims of people who have made over a million dollars in profit in less than three years, it is worth investigating further. I spent some time researching several businesses in Second Life and was impressed by what I discovered. Second Life has a thriving economy with business opportunities limited only by your imagination such as 3D animations, video production, and fashion designing.
