To celebrate what has been an exciting year in Second Life, we'd like to announce that the Infohub Art Show, "What kind of Hippo are YOU?", is now open for your enjoyment! For more info about "Why Hippos?" and what this is all about, look here.

Each Infohub now features a different Hippo or Hippos! Each Hippo is the unique result of artistic expression conveyed by a Resident of Second Life. They have many personalities. Some are playful, some are bold, some are serious and some are cold ... in the snow. Some are even collectible.

We'd like to thank each and every Resident who contributed. It has really been a treat to see the "un-dressed" Hippo Parent and Child really have a life - some might say a Second Life - breathed into them. There is just so much fun and variety, just like our community, and yet, they are all Hippos.

To find the Hippos, it's easy: when in-world, just click Map button near the bottom of your screen, and on the Map, make sure the Infohub checkbox on the right is ticked. Then, you'll see lots of light blue circles with "i" in them. Just double-click directly on one to teleport and look around for the Hippo, now living at an Infohub near you. Go around the grid and see them all!

Now, if you don't see your Hippo out there yet, if you want to add your own "story behind the Hippo" or more details to the info giver sign, or you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to IM me.

Thanks for being here with us in Second Life - here's to an even more exciting 2006!

Happy New Year from Linden Lab, complete with Happy Hippos from the Residents of Second Life!
