“AOL-ify” Second Life

In this article “Second Life: The Promise and the Paradox,” Sibley Verbeck, CEO of the virtual worlds development firm The Electric Sheep Co., suggested AOL-ifing SL to make it more comprehensible. I have to agree. AOL made the World Wide Web and its backbone, the Internet, a friendly, immediately useful “place.” Because SL is created by its residents, its got a kind of backdoor element to it. If you get in and hang out, you’ll know what’s up, where to go and what to do. If you start at Orientation Island, alone, you’re bound to be flying around alone for what seems like eternity but is really 2 hours, (lots ‘o time for most busy folk).
We’re hoping the pICTsl Farm’s website and SL presence has an AOLifying affect for those who prefer it.
