SecondLife - How To Make Money In Second Life

Filed under: Op/Ed

So, I’m logging in to Yahoo this morning, and I see out of the corner of my eye an avatar. Thinking it’s an SL avatar, I click on the photo. I get taken to this. My first thought was ‘Where’s the love for SL?’ One of the things that the mainstream press gets right about SL is that nearly everything’s user-generated; that’s one of SL’s greatest strengths! So to trumpet this from The Sims 2 is kind of annoying to me.

How many fashion shows have we had in SL? Many many. Do we get Yahoo coverage? Newp. I understand that the world is probably more familiar with The Sims 2 than it is with SL, but it would be nice to see the press show the creativity our residents express, instead of always focusing on its darker side.

I love stuff like this. Honestly, it doesn’t take much to see invisible hands controlling the reins of the world, but SL? This blog has it all: Illuminati, Freemasonry, Templars, numerology, etc. As soon as you start in about numerology, it’s over. Like the Bible, it can be used to prove anything.

Best part about this site is the formatting: large type used to emphasize key points, as though you’d miss them otherwise. But it does make one wonder what is, in fact, behind the eerie ‘eye in hand’ image LL chose for SL. It calls to mind Sauron, and more recently, the scary creature from Pan’s Labyrinth, neither of which are reassuring motifs! And if you can’t hang the title New World Order on SL, where can you?

(Thanks, Wilbur!)
