Share your LL Love with the RL World!

Today I logged in to SL to find a new Firestorm message on the opening screen, and thought I'd share it here in case you missed it.  The message was about a new opportunity to share the reasons you love Second Life with others.  Please review their web site here: http://www.firestormviewer.org/share-your-love-of-second-life-with-a-testimonial/

I always think it's great to let others know about the good things in SL and why many of us keep coming back.  It often gets a bad rap for the "adult" content even though that's a factor many love too, but there is so so much more to it than that and many of us in enjoying a huge variety of great opportunities and things from live music, to the arts, to socialization, to building/designing and being creative in many ways, etc. and I believe others should know about this.

Here is an excerpt: "We're very excited with our first six landing pages that have now received thousands of new visits.  Best of all, new sign-ups are beginning to roll in!  Thank you to all who have shared these pages with your RL contacts and please continue to do so. 

Now that we've launched the pages, we're ready to start improving them by adding testimonials from Second Life users to replace the current stock reviews we have there now."

Anyway, here is an opportunity you might enjoy being a part of.  Be sure to check the rest of it out on the Firestorm page linked above.

 

Firestorm Preview Build out Jan. 31st

More Viewer Changes Coming up for Kara

I was about to panic when I learned that LL is wanting to do away with all non- sanctioned viewers and 1x code viewers that includes my beloved Phoenix, as they have big plans for V2 and would like people to be on that. The rumor is that within three to four months LL is removing the "search" feature from these other viewers which would in essence kill the use-ablity and make everyone have to switch. But I was told by a friend who seems to know all, that we are not to worry. Phoenix is working on Firestorm which will have as many features of Phoenix as possible including the radar that I love and need for exploring with slow friends. It's his understanding Firestorm should be ready for release by the time LL makes the changes.

Another friend provided me this link to video on the subject specifically around 4:00 and 27:00times. January 11th Rezzed.TV held a taped interview with Jessica Lyon of Phoenix, on "The Phoenix Hour"-check it out here: http://rezzed.tv/2011/01/the-phoenix-hour-11th-january-2011/ or PhoenixIntvHere.

Firestorm will try to keep us happy and even add some nice features such as media on a prim and others. So I am not going to panic and just be mentally prepared for more changes.

BUT ...I would like LL to know that I would love to be able to use their viewer and would actually feel more protected on it, but can they PLEASE make it more user friendly and have some of the special features I love that seem to be missing from V2 but Phoenix and some others have? I could make them a list. I even ran into a noob not very old saying they had to switch to Phoenix as V2 was too hard to learn. Anyway.. be prepared for more changes soon if you are not a V2 user.
