Social Media by: Laura & Justin

For the social media project, Justin and I have chosen to create an account on Second Life. By getting involved with this booming industry, we will explore the world as an avatar while gaining knowledge of this unique profitable market.
Justin and I have both recently created an avatar character and explored the world of avatar island. This island is one of many places one can explore in the virtual Second Life world.
Our adventure started with creating a name for our avatar along with basic information about ourselves. Creating our account took no more than three minutes. Once we entered avatar island we were able to change the appearance of our character, from the clothes to the hair of our avatar, even the size of your booty or bust. In other words, customizing your character is very easy and could be changed for any ones preference.
Next, we were exploring avatar island along with numerous other avatar characters. A few individuals we spoke to gave us tips as to how this world works. Justin and I were speaking directly, through our built in microphones in our computers, to individuals form New York and Australia.
Furthermore, additional research is needed to fully understand Second Life. As of right now, my partner and I feel the purpose of Second Life is to find a niche or special skill that you can offer Second Life, build a business on Second Life, and start making money.

  1. Way to go and be BOLD with the social media project. I'm looking forward to having this shared with the class when you're done.
