Second Life Link integrates the worlds most popular social networking applications, Facebook, with the worlds most popular Virtual World – Second Life!
What are Facebook Applications?
================================================================
A Facebook Application (or Facebook App) is sorta like a plugin. Once installed, it extends your capabilities within facebook. Kinda like Popeye’s spinach, Facebook apps give you social networking super powers – so to speak….
The good news is, Facebook book apps don’t install software on your machine, they are already on facebooks servers, you just need to add them to your profile, and voila – you’ve got extended capabilites. Even better news – their all free!
Ok.. enough about Facebook Apps. Lets talk about Second Life Link. Once installed, Second Life Link will give you the following social networking Super Powers:
What Does Second Life Link do?
================================================================
* Show your SL Avatar to your RL Friends
If your friend uses the Second Life, and they use our application, you will be able to see their Second Life name and Avatar – so you can meet virtually!
* View your friends ONLINE Status in Facebook
Our application will show your friend’s Second Life online/offline. This will help you to synchronize virtual meeting times!
* Share your Favorite / Home Locations with your Friends
Share your Virtual Home / Favorite Locations with your Friends
We give you the option to specify your favorite or Home SL Destination with your friends. That way, they can easily teleport to you when you are online, or visit your virtual home when you are offline.
* Excellent privacy settings
Privacy is our number one concern. Therefore, we have several privacy settings so you can choose whether or not your friends can see you online or offline in SL.
Second Life Link is currently in our beta stage -meaning, it may have bugs in it. I hope you can help us find them, and make the application better!
