[2008/03/24 10:22] Marc Montague: happy easter Monday to you

[2008/03/24 10:22] Pebbles Hannya: Hi :)

[2008/03/24 10:22] Greylin Fairweather: Happy Monday : )

[2008/03/24 10:22] Fleep Tuque: Hey! Group IMs must be back!

[2008/03/24 10:22] Malburns Writer: Hi Beyers

[2008/03/24 10:22] Beyers Sellers: hi Pebbles

[2008/03/24 10:22] Nyla Cheeky: is metanomics to be held in There and SL?

[2008/03/24 10:22] Beyers Sellers: yes, both places

[2008/03/24 10:22] Nyla Cheeky: cool:)

[2008/03/24 10:23] Fleep Tuque: I was trying to log into there but it has locked me out for trying too many password combinations. Doh.

[2008/03/24 10:23] Malburns Writer: lol Fleep!!!

[2008/03/24 10:23] Harper Beresford: you can't make your password "peelf," fleep

[2008/03/24 10:24] Fleep Tuque: hehe

[2008/03/24 10:24] JenzZa Misfit: OMG !! I am a total GOOB in There.coM !!

[2008/03/24 10:24] Zha Ewry: euquT is right out as well

[2008/03/24 10:25] Saijanai Kuhn: so how does Threre.com compare to SL?

[2008/03/24 10:25] JenzZa Misfit: Saijanai .... NO comparison

[2008/03/24 10:25] JenzZa Misfit: sunday funnies that walk

[2008/03/24 10:25] Nyla Cheeky: is it a real economy too?

[2008/03/24 10:25] Charlanna Beresford: I guess you could say it's There, Saijanai

[2008/03/24 10:25] Nyla Cheeky: in There.com

[2008/03/24 10:26] Prokofy Neva: JenzZa, in SL we are merely weekday comix that walk

[2008/03/24 10:26] Dex Trenchcoat: There is nowhere special thats for sure... empty... and sitting is a popular pastime...

[2008/03/24 10:26] JenzZa Misfit: I was told ::: but youd want to check I am sure ::: that first you have to submit content for approval and pay a fee to do that

[2008/03/24 10:26] JenzZa Misfit: so not really sure

[2008/03/24 10:26] Prokofy Neva: Yes, that's how it works JenzZa indeed, and many do that, and it makes a thriving life for them

[2008/03/24 10:26] Saijanai Kuhn: Prokofy, there's a lot of research that shows that cartoons are easier for the brain to deal with then "almost real" images

[2008/03/24 10:27] Saijanai Kuhn: so.. Just because thegraphics are better, by itself, isn't necessarily that big a plus

[2008/03/24 10:27] Beyers Sellers: the uncanny valley, sai?

[2008/03/24 10:27] Prokofy Neva: and that's the future model for creators -- tying protection of your IP and protection of market access to a patron like There.com, rather than have it all stolen, hacked, or inaccessible in a place like SL, sad, but there it is.

[2008/03/24 10:27] Prokofy Neva: Saijanai, we are looking at cartoons in SL *too*, just cartoons you happen to find more likeable

[2008/03/24 10:28] Saijanai Kuhn: I thought you said that SL was more cartoonish than There

[2008/03/24 10:28] Prokofy Neva: Anyway, good luck you all cranking up and having a real good group hate on There, it could help your tribal bonding in SL, and Lord knows, you need that.

[2008/03/24 10:28] Caliandris Pendragon: no-one who has ever been There would say it was less cartoonish

[2008/03/24 10:28] Prokofy Neva: Sai, here's what I said again, please: Prokofy Neva: JenzZa, in SL we are merely weekday comix that walk

[2008/03/24 10:28] Saijanai Kuhn: actually... I've never tried There. com, which is why I was asking questions.

[2008/03/24 10:28] Caliandris Pendragon: it's horrible

[2008/03/24 10:29] Beyers Sellers: it is really quite different

[2008/03/24 10:29] Beyers Sellers: much younger crowd

[2008/03/24 10:29] Saijanai Kuhn: Huge market "There"

[2008/03/24 10:29] Beyers Sellers: I think it is the rare person who would love both SL and There

[2008/03/24 10:30] Malburns Writer: Dang - my comic book is moving!

[2008/03/24 10:30] Caliandris Pendragon: yes, I agree with you Beyers

[2008/03/24 10:30] Flower Ninetails: Sounds like I need to try it out...

[2008/03/24 10:30] Movies1963 Beck: Beyers is there any truth that an unidentified "ompa-lompa" has been seen coming and going from the Linden Lab's office,most likely discussing taking over has acting CEO in here?

[2008/03/24 10:30] Saijanai Kuhn: ANd I happen to like the "toon" effect avatars I've seen. I was working on one for a while. Talked to Torley about preset Windlight settings to fit Toon avatar sims

[2008/03/24 10:31] Prokofy Neva: Beyers, the important thing you've already realized most likely is that Betsy Book is there in There; corporations that want secure brand deployment are there in There; the prestigious State of Play conference is there in There; and for some baffling reason, the TN crowd is there in There, so that's why YOU are there in There, and the comix don't matter!

[2008/03/24 10:31] Beyers Sellers: the Terra Nova crowd is There?

[2008/03/24 10:31] Prokofy Neva: yes?

[2008/03/24 10:31] Caliandris Pendragon: Having a choice about appearance is good Saijanai - in There you don't get one

[2008/03/24 10:32] Prokofy Neva: There makes a better transition for them to hold their real-lifey conferences in, when coming out of games, than SL

[2008/03/24 10:32] Beyers Sellers: not true, Cali

[2008/03/24 10:32] Saijanai Kuhn: As I said, there's much to be said about cartoonish stuff, so if There is MORE cartoonish than SL, that can be a plus for some things

[2008/03/24 10:32] Prokofy Neva: that's why they have had all kinds of think-tanks, etc. there, and State of Play, which is funded by There.com is there

[2008/03/24 10:32] Beyers Sellers: some woman just showed me her 3 or 4 different avs

[2008/03/24 10:32] Caliandris Pendragon: Beyers: you have to pay for everything... I know they fixed you up for free

[2008/03/24 10:32] Caliandris Pendragon: I blew all my money just changing my hairstyle

[2008/03/24 10:32] Dex Trenchcoat: so prokofy... why do you stay in SL?... why bother wasteing your time here?

[2008/03/24 10:32] Prokofy Neva: Sai, there is always the option of making yourself more cartoonish in SL so that brains can process you faster!

[2008/03/24 10:33] Caliandris Pendragon: and it still looked like a cartoon

[2008/03/24 10:33] Saijanai Kuhn: for education, cartoons are often a better way to go than more realistic drawings and movement

[2008/03/24 10:33] Prokofy Neva: I have a business and customers, Dex? You?

[2008/03/24 10:33] Harper Beresford: cuz you can't own 17 sims on there, dex

[2008/03/24 10:33] Prokofy Neva: And I'm not participating in a group hate on another platform? you?

[2008/03/24 10:33] Saijanai Kuhn: Note to self: talk to Qarl about Toon-like animation for SL avatars

[2008/03/24 10:33] Caliandris Pendragon: He likes devil's advocacy...

[2008/03/24 10:33] Prokofy Neva: Actually, you can Harper, you are out of date -- they have a land auction and the same kind of real estate thing as SL now

[2008/03/24 10:33] Prokofy Neva: go and rad the website, it's interesting

[2008/03/24 10:33] Dex Trenchcoat: so your in it just for the money.. I suppose thats one reason to stay Prok... good luck to ya :)

[2008/03/24 10:33] Harper Beresford: well, Prok, perhaps you should be There :)

[2008/03/24 10:33] Dex Trenchcoat: I'm here to have fun :)

[2008/03/24 10:34] Prokofy Neva: And I would think, Harper, that a group called Metanomics, that was concerned about promoting business and studying economies wouldn't be hating on someone who has 17 sims, anyway, but whatever.

[2008/03/24 10:34] Fleep Tuque: For the love of pete, let's not all do a dogpile on Prok today, please???

[2008/03/24 10:34] Fleep Tuque: It's SO irritating.

[2008/03/24 10:34] Beyers Sellers: yes, thanks Fleep

[2008/03/24 10:34] Beyers Sellers: let's keep it civil

[2008/03/24 10:34] Prokofy Neva: Apparently the group is moderated for hecklers today, Harper, so you can follow up on my blog, where you will be told where to go with that kind of comment : )

[2008/03/24 10:34] Beyers Sellers: and give There the benefit of the doubt

[2008/03/24 10:34] Saijanai Kuhn goes back to his attempts to find out more about There.

[2008/03/24 10:34] Harper Beresford: what kind of comment?

[2008/03/24 10:34] Harper Beresford laughs

[2008/03/24 10:35] Saijanai Kuhn: More cartoonish (plus/minus depending). Build options? Money? ANimation options? Customization?

[2008/03/24 10:35] Prokofy Neva: Harper Beresford: cuz you can't own 17 sims on there, dex

[2008/03/24 10:35] Prokofy Neva: Harper Beresford: well, Prok, perhaps you should be There :)

[2008/03/24 10:35] Caliandris Pendragon: Saijanai... there is no substitute for first hand experience

[2008/03/24 10:35] Saijanai Kuhn: Ture, But Sai is a Mac user

[2008/03/24 10:35] Caliandris Pendragon: One man's meat being another woman's poison

[2008/03/24 10:36] Harper Beresford: Prok, you're a wonderful businessman on SL and can probably find plenty of opportunity in There.

[2008/03/24 10:36] Saijanai Kuhn: and his windows boxes are good enough to play SL and leave test avatars running while I send messgaes to them but not good enough to make a comparison between SL and There.

[2008/03/24 10:36] Movies1963 Beck: I'm still waiting for word on the ompa-lompa thing

[2008/03/24 10:37] Prokofy Neva: Harper, you seem to be labouring under the clicheyed notice that people engaged in the real estate business in SL are moneygrubbing non-creative types unlike yourself, but it's a little more sophisticated and complex than that, as befitting a world that is open-ended and doesn't have a socialist economy imposed on it -- yet! : )

[2008/03/24 10:37] Harper Beresford: oh my...

[2008/03/24 10:37] Harper Beresford: lol

[2008/03/24 10:37] Prokofy Neva: oh my indeed

[2008/03/24 10:38] Almo Schumann laughs.

[2008/03/24 10:38] Prokofy Neva: Beyers, what is your purpose in taking these folks on a field trip to There?

[2008/03/24 10:38] Movies1963 Beck: so it's not just all about pulling in your rent money then eh Prkofy?

[2008/03/24 10:38] Harper Beresford will step away from the keyboard as engaging with Prok somehow constitutes some "hate" directed his way.

[2008/03/24 10:39] IM: Prokofy Neva: Harper, if you join in the group hate dumping on There as an uncreative, cartoony, crass, commercialized teen hangout, and then tell me I would be "happier" going over there, hey, I get it, I truly do. But...I passed on There, oh, before you were born.

[2008/03/24 10:39] IM: Fleep Tuque: For those interested in thoughts about other vw's, I made a blog post yesterday about VastPark and vSide: http://fleeep.net/blog/?p=352 Interesting to see how vSide is differentiating from the other social focused worlds like Kaneva and There (I haven't seen any world that I'd put in SL's category yet.)

[2008/03/24 10:39] IM: Bevan Whitfield: Thank you Fleep.

[2008/03/24 10:39] IM: Movies1963 Beck: keep in mind Prokofy supposadly has me muted although I know she hangs onto my every word

[2008/03/24 10:39] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: OK, There is the Microsoft world, right?

[2008/03/24 10:39] IM: Fleep Tuque: if MS has a world, I haven't seen it yet

[2008/03/24 10:39] IM: Fleep Tuque: what's it called?

[2008/03/24 10:40] IM: Prokofy Neva: But these platforms *evolve*, they keep changing, you have to tune in and appreciate what they are doing, and they have many important and worthwhile differences to SL that make them attractive even to -- especially to! -- the eggheads at Terra Nova -- and a prominent known academic like Betsy Book who became an executive there at There, so do some homework, stop the hate.

[2008/03/24 10:40] IM: Wiz Nordberg: Probably "Microsoft World"

[2008/03/24 10:40] IM: Bevan Whitfield: lol Wiz

[2008/03/24 10:40] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: Sorry, who produces/publishes "There.com"?

[2008/03/24 10:40] IM: Mikelo Serevi: Fleep: It's called "Earth"

[2008/03/24 10:40] IM: Prokofy Neva: Macena Technologies

[2008/03/24 10:40] IM: Grace McDunnough: Makenna Tech

[2008/03/24 10:40] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: AH, OK, my Very Bad

[2008/03/24 10:41] IM: Prokofy Neva: and Saijanai, hold on to your hats -- here's where the evil U.S. military industrial complex comes in! they forked into two companies using the same technology, one of which, Forterra, even has contracts with the U.S. Dept. of Defense *gasp*

[2008/03/24 10:41] IM: Grace McDunnough: actually, Makena

[2008/03/24 10:41] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: So, its a startup, just as LL is, so it doesn't have a huge corporate backign. What advantages do people see for There.com?

[2008/03/24 10:41] IM: Prokofy Neva: Uh, it's not a start-up lol

[2008/03/24 10:41] Grace McDunnough: Hey IYan

[2008/03/24 10:41] IYan Writer: hey Grace

[2008/03/24 10:42] IYan Writer: dark hair.. shock

[2008/03/24 10:42] Grace McDunnough: Oh . yeah .. forgot

[2008/03/24 10:42] IM: Beyers Sellers: Forterra, There and Makena are all closely related

[2008/03/24 10:42] IM: Beyers Sellers: they share investment base

[2008/03/24 10:42] IM: Beyers Sellers: and all use the platfrorm OLIVE

[2008/03/24 10:42] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: Founded in 2005. Thats a startup in my mind

[2008/03/24 10:43] IM: Beyers Sellers: There has been around since 03

[2008/03/24 10:43] IM: Beyers Sellers: they had some changes in ownership

[2008/03/24 10:45] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: OK, so there is more mature than the company that owns it.

[2008/03/24 10:45] IM: Grace McDunnough: No wikipedia entry for Makena Technologies ..at least means we are not getting a ton of cut and paste expertise in the chat window ;-)

[2008/03/24 10:46] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: So... I saw theposibility ocreating buying and selling stuff. Is the currency used RW or a game currency with an exchagne rate?

[2008/03/24 10:46] IM: Prokofy Neva: thanks Grace, too true, too true

[2008/03/24 10:46] IM: Prokofy Neva: It has an exchange rate but is more controlled because content is controlled

[2008/03/24 10:46] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: http://www.there.com/companyInfo.html

[2008/03/24 10:46] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: Happy now?

[2008/03/24 10:47] IM: Prokofy Neva: Forterra has been around since 1998: http://www.forterrainc.com/company.php

[2008/03/24 10:47] IM: Prokofy Neva: not a start-up

[2008/03/24 10:47] IM: Grace McDunnough: I've been there Saijanai, which is far more helpful than a web link

[2008/03/24 10:47] :: ChaseMarellan: Testing...

[2008/03/24 10:48] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: As I said, Sai's access to PCs is limited. The PC in the living room is mostly web box for guests to use

[2008/03/24 10:48] IM: Prokofy Neva: There is somewhere between The Sims Online and Second Life, but that's where some people/activities/companies need to be, too, it's good there is more choice and that it is evolving

[2008/03/24 10:48] Chase Marellan: testing...

[2008/03/24 10:52] Lizabeth Wingtips is Offline

[2008/03/24 10:52] Grace McDunnough: Oops we lost Beyers.

[2008/03/24 11:06] IM: Aimee Trescothick: have video, but silent at CMP 3

[2008/03/24 11:06] John Zhaoying: No ... I'm just looking for a sound-source.

[2008/03/24 11:06] IM: CDB Barkley: Just a title screen

[2008/03/24 11:06] IM: JenzZa Misfit: .. Beyers .. SLCN screen with video in the corner ::: no audio

[2008/03/24 11:06] John Zhaoying: Hit me in the head with something heavy, will you?

[2008/03/24 11:06] Beyers Sellers: right now audio is silent

[2008/03/24 11:06] Beyers Sellers: should just be slcn screen

[2008/03/24 11:06] IM: Bevan Whitfield nods

[2008/03/24 11:06] Beyers Sellers: we are set, though

[2008/03/24 11:06] IM: Wiz Nordberg: "no audio" is correct right now, it is silent

[2008/03/24 11:06] IM: Beyers Sellers: that's what it should be

[2008/03/24 11:07] IM: Wiz Nordberg: i'll pass on two "backup URLS" for anybody who needs them...

[2008/03/24 11:07] Yxes Delacroix hits John on the head with something that goes "thump"

[2008/03/24 11:07] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: is there voice (I assume there is music) in There?com?

[2008/03/24 11:07] IM: Aimee Trescothick: cool, can they do sign language in There yet? :D

[2008/03/24 11:07] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: ANd how's the IM issue?

[2008/03/24 11:07] John Zhaoying: Excellent.

[2008/03/24 11:07] IM: Wiz Nordberg: to play this in the quicktime player, use "Open URL" and use http://streams.slcn.tv/live.mov

[2008/03/24 11:07] IM: Bevan Whitfield: yes Saij

[2008/03/24 11:07] Yxes Delacroix: farquot and curric are the only two that have their voice "active", but muted, i think, John

[2008/03/24 11:07] IM: Wiz Nordberg: if you want just the audio, in itunes or winamp, you can use http://media-us-2.soundreach.net:8811/metanomics_show.mp3

[2008/03/24 11:08] IM: Wiz Nordberg: you should not need EITHER of these if your inworld video is operating

[2008/03/24 11:09] IM: Aimee Trescothick: Beyers has better posture in SL, his there av is going to get a bad back

[2008/03/24 11:09] IM: Joia Sands: Their posture is a little slumpy :)

[2008/03/24 11:09] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: well, I couldn't hear the sound at first. ..

[2008/03/24 11:09] Farqot Gustafson does listen eventuall, you know... ;-)

[2008/03/24 11:10] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: Its deliberately very cartoony which can be a plus, like I said

[2008/03/24 11:10] IM: Saijanai Kuhn: how's the movement? Cartoony or realistic?

[2008/03/24 11:10] IM: Dex Trenchcoat: yea the lip action is a neat trick... but the posture is all gen x slacker style :)

[2008/03/24 11:10] IM: Bevan Whitfield: http://twitter.com/metanomics/

[2008/03/24 11:11] IM: Shu Zabelin: it's working now

[2008/03/24 11:19] IM: Fleep Tuque: like duplicate sims?

[2008/03/24 11:20] IM: IntLibber Brautigan: nice Caterpillars there Mike

[2008/03/24 11:21] IM: Kim Chihuly: we've run into the tech issues at school with SL - using lower end computers for there is a good idea

[2008/03/24 11:21] IM: IntLibber Brautigan: I'm wondering when Bert and Ernie will show up

[2008/03/24 11:21] IM: CDB Barkley: CookieMonster!

[2008/03/24 11:22] IM: IntLibber Brautigan: yes, many schools have poorly planned for bandwidth growth

[2008/03/24 11:22] IM: Fleep Tuque: amen to that

[2008/03/24 11:23] IM: IntLibber Brautigan: I helped install the new network at Dartmouth College back in 2002, they hired Qwest to do the install, and the college presidents office was shocked that the network they chose to install would be obsolete in 5-6 years. (upgrading from 10-baseT to 100baseT plus wifi campuswide)

[2008/03/24 11:24] IM: IntLibber Brautigan: tho Qwest told em it was good for 15 years

[2008/03/24 11:25] IM: Farley Scarborough: Camera control is so limited in There... SLCN.TV does an amazing job!

[2008/03/24 11:25] IM: IntLibber Brautigan: I'm sure teen girls everywhere are pining for a hot guy with those eyebrows.....

[2008/03/24 11:29] IM: Leslie Beaumont: eh?

[2008/03/24 11:30] IM: Kim Chihuly: i love the idea of more places for people to interact with content - more chances for people to experience stories and become a part of them

[2008/03/24 11:32] IM: Ran Hienrichs: Kim - this means the market is bigger and the advertisers will arrive! In bigger droves.

[2008/03/24 11:34] IM: Kim Chihuly: ran - also might mean new story ideas, more identification with characters

[2008/03/24 11:35] IM: Joia Sands: I didn't have audio when Michael was giving his demographics. Does anyone remember the age and gender breakdown?

[2008/03/24 11:35] IM: Joia Sands: lost audio

[2008/03/24 11:35] IM: Joia Sands: She should repeat 6 segments

[2008/03/24 11:36] IM: Edwound Wisent: age and gender stats ALWAYS break down. they are a sham. plain flavored and complicated.

[2008/03/24 11:36] IM: Fleep Tuque: Oh here we go again with the categories. :) Echoes of the Richard Bartle's 4 categories and Nick Yee's 5(?)

[2008/03/24 11:37] IM: Nexus Dreamscape: :-)

[2008/03/24 11:37] IM: Almo Schumann: I am campaigning for 7 categories.

[2008/03/24 11:37] IM: Nexus Dreamscape: Hahaha!

[2008/03/24 11:37] IM: CDB Barkley: Classifications- be a lumper or a splitter?

[2008/03/24 11:37] IM: Wiz Nordberg: i vote for two: those who get it and those who don't :)

[2008/03/24 11:37] IM: Almo Schumann: Binary is so 20th Century.

[2008/03/24 11:38] IM: IntLibber Brautigan: Dualism is 20th century, binary is 21st

[2008/03/24 11:38] IM: Nexus Dreamscape: :-)

[2008/03/24 11:39] IM: Edwound Wisent: jjjEEAAZZz! they REALLY don't get it!

[2008/03/24 11:39] IM: Edwound Wisent: me and my 7 year old come into virtual worlds.. TOGETHER!

[2008/03/24 11:39] IM: IntLibber Brautigan: lol

[2008/03/24 11:40] IM: Fleep Tuque: hehe

[2008/03/24 11:40] IM: Edwound Wisent: and types are MUTABLE

[2008/03/24 11:40] IM: IntLibber Brautigan: the answer is 42

[2008/03/24 11:40] IM: CDB Barkley: bring a towel

[2008/03/24 11:40] IM: Nexus Dreamscape: always

[2008/03/24 11:40] IM: Edwound Wisent: googelplex

[2008/03/24 11:41] IM: IntLibber Brautigan: Valley Girls

[2008/03/24 11:41] IM: Edwound Wisent: there are 5 types of deamon scripts

[2008/03/24 11:41] IM: Quinn Houston: For reals, I never leave home without a towel. :)

[2008/03/24 11:41] IM: Joia Sands: Edwound you seem angry.

[2008/03/24 11:41] IM: Curric Vita: I have a question for Gordon - can she comment about her survey methods? How does she collect her data, how does she ensure that people are truthful in their responses to their RL preferences rather than role-playing or lying?

[2008/03/24 11:41] IM: Wiz Nordberg: i think the perspective to have on this is the question of "how do you scale this experience to the mass market".... i think there's a different version of "get it" for mass market products that's relevant

[2008/03/24 11:41] IM: Edwound Wisent: cosmo grrrl will bring mostly mid life crisis "types" in early 30s to mid 40s

[2008/03/24 11:41] IM: IntLibber Brautigan: so how do these teen cosmogirls ever experience their first e-bra in a PG place like There?

[2008/03/24 11:42] IM: Ran Hienrichs: When I was growing up there was ABC, NBC and CBS. Now look where we are. Virtual worlds will go this way as well.

[2008/03/24 11:42] IM: CDB Barkley: 1000s of channels and nothing on

[2008/03/24 11:42] IM: Edwound Wisent: pretending to be 16. to re-capture some lost youth lament

[2008/03/24 11:42] IM: IntLibber Brautigan: does not miss the demise of the sitcom

[2008/03/24 11:43] IM: Ran Hienrichs: CBD and that is because the channel is a consumer model; virtual worlds are prosumer.

[2008/03/24 11:43] IM: Joia Sands: EDwound, do you go into virtual worlds with your 7 year old as a parent, or as a peer in the virtual world?

[2008/03/24 11:43] IM: Cybergrrl Oh: E-bra

[2008/03/24 11:43] IM: Cybergrrl Oh snorts

[2008/03/24 11:43] IM: JenzZa Misfit: lol

[2008/03/24 11:43] IM: Cybergrrl Oh: Cosmogirl is not the Seventeen magazine I grew up with

[2008/03/24 11:43] IM: Edwound Wisent: if they ARE"interacting, it'll be with MOM or mum trying to say let's go shopping together! I'll pretend to be your younger sissy!

[2008/03/24 11:44] IM: Edwound Wisent: pfffTTH!

[2008/03/24 11:44] IM: Cybergrrl Oh: I've been to Cosmogirl in There.com and can't figure out how it is building their brand.

[2008/03/24 11:44] IM: Eoin Blessed: I was at the THERE site (voice only), and one of 8 in audience

[2008/03/24 11:44] IM: Bevan Whitfield: Well, I bought a T shirt, cybergrrl :-)

[2008/03/24 11:45] IM: Yxes Delacroix: @cybergrrl maybe you should go to There.com and do one of your 5 min blasts with CosmoGIRL!

[2008/03/24 11:45] IM: Cybergrrl Oh: Bevan - you are way ahead of me. Didn't find the tshirts.

[2008/03/24 11:45] IM: Bevan Whitfield: I'm still there!

[2008/03/24 11:45] IM: Joia Sands: I assume that if girls are seeing CosmoGirl in There, that in itself reinforces the brand. as cool.

[2008/03/24 11:45] IM: Cybergrrl Oh: Yxes - I wanted to but couldn't make it happen.

[2008/03/24 11:45] IM: Eoin Blessed: But WHY would you WANT to be THERE?

[2008/03/24 11:45] IM: Bevan Whitfield: oh yes, got the shoes, hair, eyes, jeans, lipstick

[2008/03/24 11:45] IM: Cybergrrl Oh: Bevan - you there now in there?

[2008/03/24 11:45] IM: Cybergrrl Oh: I'll log in!

[2008/03/24 11:45] IM: Nexus Dreamscape: I can't understand how anyone enjoys themself in ther, it is truly a horrible place

[2008/03/24 11:45] IM: Almo Schumann: I was THERE and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.

[2008/03/24 11:45] IM: Eoin Blessed: And the Metaverse business model is going to CREAM THRE

[2008/03/24 11:46] IM: Bevan Whitfield: I'm in the front row!!!

[2008/03/24 11:46] IM: Yxes Delacroix: lol Almo

[2008/03/24 11:46] IM: Eoin Blessed: THere was only 1 row, half filled!

[2008/03/24 11:46] IM: Bevan Whitfield: But Eoin, I want to be here!!!

[2008/03/24 11:46] Edwound Wisent: truth is mutable. mutationable as well

[2008/03/24 11:46] IM: Leslie Beaumont: I think There is fun, but it is aimed at a different audience

[2008/03/24 11:46] IM: Nexus Dreamscape: I'm there too, and it is horrible

[2008/03/24 11:46] IM: Bevan Whitfield: This is just me going undercover :-)

[2008/03/24 11:46] IM: Ran Hienrichs: Michael, will you stream Second Life events in There.com?

[2008/03/24 11:46] IM: Cybergrrl Oh: Nexus - I had to get my hand held to figure out anything in There. I'm not ashamed to admit that.

[2008/03/24 11:46] IM: Edwound Wisent: You: truth is mutable. mutationable as well

[2008/03/24 11:46] IM: Joia Sands: There seems to be a difference between worlds with a business purpose and worlds with a social purpose. IT's not a competition between There and SL. Both can exist and appeal to different groups of users.

[2008/03/24 11:46] IM: Bevan Whitfield: Well I asked you guys last night in twitter to come help me, sniff

[2008/03/24 11:47] IM: Leslie Beaumont: There is certianly not a substitute for SL

[2008/03/24 11:47] IM: Eoin Blessed: True Joia: Metaverse is going to move businesses to them from THERE

[2008/03/24 11:47] IM: Bevan Whitfield: Oh yes, Joia!

[2008/03/24 11:47] IM: Cybergrrl Oh: But what is There's purpose? SL isn't a business environment purely. But There doesn't make it easy for people to do business.

[2008/03/24 11:47] IM: Edwound Wisent: ssso.. what that means is that you only count those that ..."pay".. HA! no WONDER the stats are so scewed!

[2008/03/24 11:47] IM: Nexus Dreamscape: My av was called a Ho five minutes in to being there for the first time

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Mikelo Serevi: It is a contest for group 6.

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Joia Sands: Maybe :) I personally don't see SL as the ultimate business platform. It's just paving the way.

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Edwound Wisent: market researchers ALWAYS make up data!

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: IntLibber Brautigan: There only wants "real" businesses to do business in There

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Bevan Whitfield: This is like comparing apples and pineapples.

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Leslie Beaumont: There is a social env, and there is a silly crowd...

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Bevan Whitfield: no apples and giraffs

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Eoin Blessed: True Joia: But it is the best of the lot

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Edwound Wisent: what school this person go to?!

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Leslie Beaumont: there is also a silly crwown in SL which acts very similarl;y

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Joia Sands: Right Mikelo :)

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Leslie Beaumont: crowd

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Edwound Wisent: /hi

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Cindy Ecksol: we talked about this last time: the business model of There seems to be to reflect mainstream media, duplicate those "properties" in a virtual world purely for marketing purposes

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Cybergrrl Oh: Actually, I think There is having trouble getting ANY business to do business in there. I think businesses aren't impressed.

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Edwound Wisent: you mean.. you are not telling us... THE TRUTH?

[2008/03/24 11:48] IM: Eoin Blessed: Let's tailor our statistics to our perceptions and call the rest [out]liers

[2008/03/24 11:49] IM: Eoin Blessed grins

[2008/03/24 11:49] IM: Edwound Wisent: you keep everything under wraps?

[2008/03/24 11:49] IM: Cindy Ecksol: lol eoin!

[2008/03/24 11:49] IM: CDB Barkley: I'm learning to be a better liar!

[2008/03/24 11:49] IM: Joia Sands: Edwound, if you are not happy with the presentation, you have other options :)

[2008/03/24 11:49] IM: Bevan Whitfield: I'm just here for metanomics. Goodness, I have to tree shop later...

[2008/03/24 11:49] IM: Ran Hienrichs: Here in Seattle - we are looking for MORE reality in virtual worlds, not less.

[2008/03/24 11:49] IM: Cybergrrl Oh: But There can't get any businesses to sign up.

[2008/03/24 11:49] IM: Edwound Wisent: I'm a lyrasist. does that make me a lier?

[2008/03/24 11:50] IM: Joia Sands: Agreed Ran

[2008/03/24 11:50] IM: Nexus Dreamscape: dodgy to rely on any one demographic when it is unproven

[2008/03/24 11:50] IM: Edwound Wisent: its the demographic that will buy product, so the stats don't matter

[2008/03/24 11:50] IM: Bevan Whitfield: are you here yet cybergrrl?

[2008/03/24 11:50] IM: Cindy Ecksol: yes, ran -- and There is about creating "property driven" fantasy in virtual worlds. So you get the "ConsmoGIRL World" where every guy can be "eye candy" just like in the magazine

[2008/03/24 11:50] IM: JenzZa Misfit: ...not that it matters .....but i was in There ... just abit ago .. and the music blaring in my headset was some expletive rap tune .. some merry little " f this and that " ditty ....hmm

[2008/03/24 11:51] IM: Cybergrrl Oh: nope - had to fix my printer and turn on my computer

[2008/03/24 11:51] IM: Edwound Wisent: these would be... your POST readers

[2008/03/24 11:51] IM: Joia Sands: Michael, do you see the way There.com attracts and interacts with business sponsors to be significantly different from other virtual worlds like Whyville or SL?

[2008/03/24 11:51] IM: Bevan Whitfield: I am actually here and watching there.com from my SLCN tvi

[2008/03/24 11:51] IM: Cindy Ecksol: oh, yeah, beyers, you ARE hunky in There!!!

[2008/03/24 11:51] IM: Cybergrrl Oh: I can only get onto There on PC and I'm a bit PC challenged.

[2008/03/24 11:53] IM: Edwound Wisent: how high a prim rate

[2008/03/24 11:53] IM: Cindy Ecksol: in virtual worlds, code is law -- they can just set the code up so avs can't get too close :-)

[2008/03/24 11:53] IM: Ran Hienrichs: Cindy: I agree with your use of the tool for the right market. That is what the Internet is for. And a tool for every task is exciting.

[2008/03/24 11:54] IM: Edwound Wisent: do we all have to look really bland in large crwds?

[2008/03/24 11:54] IM: Ran Hienrichs: Can you give an example of "layering"?

[2008/03/24 11:54] IM: Edwound Wisent: i mean, one really good hair flippy and flowing robes bit can cause a heck of a lot of lag.

[2008/03/24 11:54] IM: Nexus Dreamscape: Well if you want to make sure it is suitable for Cosmogirl, you need to go and have a word with Joey and the other oiks who just called my av a ho, and were amking allsorts of unpleasant remarks to one another. Definitely not an environment for young girls to be congregating in

[2008/03/24 11:54] IM: Edwound Wisent: thank you. go fer it.

[2008/03/24 11:55] IM: Joia Sands: good point Nexus

[2008/03/24 11:55] IM: Nexus Dreamscape: :-)

[2008/03/24 11:55] IM: Cindy Ecksol: @ran I guess whether you find this "exciting" or not depends on how you feel about the marketing efforts defining a "satisfying" RL experience

[2008/03/24 11:55] IM: Edwound Wisent: tinys will fitt better. but makes you look like a bay

[2008/03/24 11:55] IM: Edwound Wisent: baby

[2008/03/24 11:55] IM: Ran Hienrichs: Okay, then, what's a "shard"?

[2008/03/24 11:55] IM: Edwound Wisent: YESss!

[2008/03/24 11:56] IM: Cindy Ecksol: oops! another shot at SL....

[2008/03/24 11:56] IM: Edwound Wisent: simple dances suck to watch but are better for the bandwidth

[2008/03/24 12:01] IM: Ran Hienrichs: If I were depending on this technology in wartime, during a science discovery meeting, a dating opportunity being closed, I'd be miffed.

[2008/03/24 12:04] IM: Edwound Wisent: ah. the music channel didn't trunkate out. the media channel did

[2008/03/24 12:04] IM: Wiz Nordberg: to fix it: go into prefs, turn off video, go back, then back into prefs, turn it back on again, restart video..... viola!

[2008/03/24 12:05] IM: Malburns Writer: switch on and off via prefs usually cures upsidedowniness!
