my avatar sitting at the bar … watching tweets popping up from twitter friends … there is an overlap between RL and SL … SL residents meet e.g. in world, via-twitter, blogs, facebook … other communities

the cluetrain manifesto
A powerful global conversation has begun. Through the Internet, people are discovering and inventing new ways to share relevant knowledge with blinding speed. As a direct result, markets are getting smarter—and getting smarter faster than most companies

Hapiness
Jane McGonigal said:
I have spent the last year doing research on happiness. Instead of trying to figure out what’s broken, these people are trying to figure out what makes us happy. Every positive psychologist has found the same thing.
Happiness is
1) having satisfying work to do,
2) the experience of being good at something,
3) time spent with people we like, and
4) a chance to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

Why I’m hooked on Twitter
Howard Rheingold says:
Openness — anyone can join, and anyone can follow anyone else (unless they restrict access to friends who request access)
Immediacy — it’s a rolling present. You won’t get the sense of Twitter if you just check in once a week. You need to hang out for minutes and hours, every day, to get in the groove.
Variety — political or technical argument, gossip, technical info, news flashes, poetry, social arrangements, classrooms, repartee, scholarly references
Reciprocity — people give and ask freely for information they need (this doesn’t necessarily scale or last forever, but right now it’s possible to tune your list — and to contribute to it — to include a high degree of reciprocation)
A channel to multiple publics — I’m a communicator and have a following that I want to grow and feed. I can get the word out about a new book or vlog post in seconds — and each of the 1300 people who follow me might also feed my memes to their own networks. I used to just paint. Now I document my painting at each stage of the process, upload pix to flickr or flicks to blip.tv, then drop a tinyurl into Twitter. Who needs a gallery or a distributor?
Asymmetry — very interesting. Very few people follow exactly the same people who follow them.
A way to meet new people — it happens every day
A way to find people who share interests — I follow people I don’t know otherwise but who share an interest in educational technology, video, online activism.
A window on what is happening in multiple worlds, some of which I am familiar with, and others that are new to me

Frühlingstag
Cham – Hünenberg – Tankstelle – Getränke – „Kämberg“ – Kiosk – Mozarella – nach hause … warten auf Pizza … schön.
Jochen Nordlicht
war heute mehrmals in Amerika … mal via Live.Yahoo … und dann via Second Life.
gesehen habe ich private Wohnungen, schneebedeckte Strassen, den Schatten von Jiim’s Katze, einige Avatars von Kollegen, interaktive Wegweiser zur den Siemens Inseln in Second Life, eine Test Präsentation von Siemens PLM …
fast wie dort sein … so fern und doch so nah … das hat Zukunft
und: diese Technologie bringt uns näher … Mobilität benötigt man künftig nur noch kleinräumig – Fliegen oder x hundert Kilometer Autofahren sind nicht mehr notwendig;;; zumindest für viele Events.
schöne neue Welt

virtual operation centers
Also noted in this recent flurry of press is the work of Oliver Goh, Implenia, (a.k.a Eolus McMillan in Second Life) and his collaboration with Michael. Oliver has pioneered virtual operation centers and dynamic 3D visualization tools for the Real Estate Industry. See here and here for more about the Eolus One Think Tank in Second Life. Eolus One will be announcing their new project and collaboration tool – the 3D Balanced Scorecard and a 3D Virtual Risk Map (vital considering the recent ‘finacial crisis’ in the real estate industry) at MIPIM – the most important conference for the real estate industry.

feels like this could have been my project … could not get people on board – am I in the wrong place?
