Second Life Avatars
Unless you’ve been asleep under a rock than you might have missed the new Second Life avatars that now come free in your inventory library. There is a wealth of styles and avatars to choose from and they all come in different themes, ranging from bollywood to rocker to punk to cyborg, animals, robots and vehicles. They are a great starting point for anyone new to Second Life and even for some of us veterans. Very well designed and created by content creators in Second Life, they are a far cry from what was originally around 4/5 years ago. All of them can be found in the clothing section of the library folder in your inventory. Here’s a just a sample of them.

Under the banner of ‘ER-910’, it seems that Linden Lab is working on a new privacy feature – one which has been requested by some users since 2005 or earlier, but which the Lab rejected on a number of occasions.
Imagine, for a moment, that you’re sitting down for the first time with a new piece of software that you’ve not used before. One where you haven’t read the manual or just plain doesn’t have one – yes, I’m thinking about Second Life here.
I haven’t yet found out what the new Second Life search engine is. It certainly isn’t based on Google Search Appliances (GSA), but I’m waiting to find out if the Lab is willing to reveal the technology being used.
