A Virtual Worlds Winter? I Think Not!

John Chambers, Cisco® CEO not only endorses virtual worlds and Second Life® as part of their collaboration focus, but has a company-wide implementation strategy in progress. I attended the Cisco Live! program on June 24, 2008 in Second Life and came away with what I think of as a powerful endorsement for business and government in regard to using virtual worlds.

I feel strongly that virtual worlds are a part of the internet evolution and are “the” essential component to collaboration… Continue

What's tropica without Bull?

It was Bull who livens up everyone in Tropica. One day, silence fell over CNW as Bull left. Everyone was sad even our Goddess. Someday Bull will come back. Until then its lights out in CNW. lol

New Media: are the Virtual Real Worlds the New Media?

What is the definition of New Media.

Surely Web2.0 is now old media.

The new media will be immersive 3D environments; using the technology developed by the CGI, gaming, and film industries will be the future media.

We need to start preparing for this rather than the 2D text, images and flashy flashy web sites with no content; just a front office metaphor.

I believe we should start planning now for the future revolution; we are at the beginning of a… Continue

My Heart belongs in Cybernet Worlds

If you hear me raving about Cybernet Worlds, you'll know it gets rave reviews as a 3d chat universe.

Our foundress and creator of Cybernet worlds [which will remain nameless to protect her identity] is also our Godess and mother of all of Cybernet Worlds or CNW for short. She rules with tough love and kindness to all who enter in. She makes our blessed community a safe an… Continue

<b>When consultants go bad</b>

The following is a reprint of the Ad Nauseam column which appeared in the June 24, 2008 edition of the Metaverse Messenger

We’re putting the paper to bed a bit early this week. As a result I’ve not had the chance to complete my interviews with various experts and consultants. But maybe that’s for the best. Before quoting extensively from these respected authorities I should perhaps give a mild word of warning about them: a great… Continue

Very warm, loving and friendly, but tough on trouble makers. They want this to be an… Continue

NASA Virtual World in QA-2

This week I completed a 5-world network of space worlds for NASA in the Quest Atlantis 3D universe. We were asked to expand on the asteroid impact theme and we did so. Now there are alternate scenarios in the mission dialog that entail things like if the deflection options did or did not work. See my uploaded images for further info.

Coffee and a sandwich board

The following is a reprint of the Ad Nauseam column which appeared in the June 17, 2008 edition of the Metaverse Messenger

It’s time to recap (from the French, meaning: “Put your hat back on”).

We started with our product, a new line of furry avatars. We then identified the difference between “audience” (furries and the furry-curious) and “reach” (the number of furries and furry-curious who will actually see our… Continue
