So I guess a bunch of sky pirates on a mission to raid a kink club and plunder booty would be a bad invitation? At least for Video?

So you mean to tell me that potential residents watching the live feed will get bored of Slingo even BEFORE they actually join?

So does anyone want to make a wager on who the first Fet..I mean avie will have their event broadcast? :)

I do have to admit that it was pretty cool that Video Linden broadcast last nights candle light vigil over the live feed. I got a bajillion IM's from other residents and have made many new friends. Also one more completely random person signed up and put me down as a referral just because they saw me speaking on the feed. So hey can't beat that.

(muses about a Resident run "Daily Show" kind of thing inworld...since I believe Video Linden can view inworld videos....)

(muses about Residents setting up events specially tailored to being broadcast by Video Linden...talk shows, fashion shows, comedy shows...)

Boy I wish the Lindens would give us a hint on ways to use Video Linden. They just put it out there with no ideas what so ever....

Maybe just a little hint?

(muses about how to get voice into SL for everyone)

Hi, I sent this to you a couple of days ago, I don't know if you got it or not. I still have the V after the name and have told people Video Linden might be at the event. Should I expect an answer back? Or should I assume he will be there?



Four in a Row (V)

Date: Monday, July 11, 2005
Time: 2:00PM - 3:00PM (60 minutes)
Location: Feted (235,169)
Host: April Firefly
Category: Games/Contests
Cover Charge? No
Event description: You played it as a kid. Dropping the red or black checker at the top, making 4 in a row. You got the Connect-ion! Now come play in Second Life against your friends or make some new ones.

IM April Firefly for a TP

P.S. Dnate, keep in mind, some people don't really want voice in SL or not their own voice at least. Some are not the same gender as their AV, some have handicaps that prevent them from speaking, some are in areas where speaking would be difficult because of others around them. Some people do currentlly use Teamspeak, have you investigated that?

The most successful software company in the world does a piss-poor job on all these points. Particularly the first three. Why do you expect Linden Labs to do any better?
Yes, it's true, I have a blog now!

And for voice in SL a friend of mine introduced me to 'Skype'. Very clear and great program....only drawback is I think U can only have 4 people to a conference.

How about doing a townhall with video linden!

Too bad it wasn't set up for quicktime, though :(

I had to update Media Player when I upgraded my computer, so now I can't view Video Linden. I agree that it should have been set up with Quick Time, since that's the basis for video inside SL.
