Useful or Interesting Blogs
- Aleister Kronos's own blog at slambling (Aleister's master is the owner of this Wiki. The blog is strong on pictures - if otherwise a bit light on content - and that's Aleister's master talking! Still... he does obtain the odd scoop that's worth looking out for. Kzero don't get everthing first!
- Team Mascot's blog at slmascot (Team Mascot is a pal of Aleister Kronos, and is another avatar in Second Life. His blog is a mix of news, views and ramblings about Second Life as well as recording some of the more interesting places he has visited)
- KZero (a "branding, advertising and digital marketing consultancy") at: Kzero. A really useful site for tracking new companies into SL, and general "Do's" and "Don'ts" for engagement in SL.
- Elizabeth Rockwood's blog at Binary Footprint is geared toward the use and role of libraries, learning and training in Second Life.
- The main Linden Labs blog keeps residents abreast of announcements, problems and resolutions in Second Life.
- 3PointD Blog "reports on emerging 3D connectivity — a phenomenon sometimes called the metaverse — in all its manifestations. From virtual worlds like Second Life to applications like Google Earth, from cool mapping hacks that link up real-world locations to new ways of creating virtual ones, from concepts like folksonomy to the culture of online worlds."
Useful or Interesting Wikis
- Simteach wiki: "a place for university instructional designers, faculty and administrators to find information and to share their own experiences designing, teaching and administering classes in immersive environments." This is a rich resource for both Second Life and the wider field of Metaverses.
- Linden Scripting Language Wiki: probably the best resource at the moment for learning LSL, the scripting language.
- "How to start a Wiki" wiki - good resource for selecting and implementing wikis. It gives a comprehensive overview of the available options, including free wikis. Incidentally, I chose EditThis.info because it uses the same software as Wikipedia, already hosts a number of other wikis and offers "Unlimited pages and users. Basic account includes google map support, math markup (although this feature is not currently in a working state), wiki spam protection, 25MB of disk space, and RSS feeds." Another one that looked interesting is NETCipia; which bills itself as "a blog and a wiki in the same place". It looks cool, but lacks a stable base - and an inital trial was not encouraging as there were many syntax errors.
