Comments on: Second Life Groups http://ebeste.umwblogs.org/2007/09/10/second-life-groups/ Just another UMW Blogs.org weblog Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:21:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Missak http://ebeste.umwblogs.org/2007/09/10/second-life-groups/#comment-17 Missak Tue, 25 Sep 2007 16:59:44 +0000 http://ebeste.umwblogs.org/2007/09/10/second-life-groups/#comment-17 I see you had some good luck finding groups. I'd recommend that if you'd like to join some other interesting groups, you should definitely look for a group of your heritage. I tried it with mine, although with the small population of Armenians in the real world, I wasn't expecting more than 50 people on Second Life...(there were about 9 or 10). You may have better luck than I did, so you should definitely look into it. I see you had some good luck finding groups.

So this WOW group interests me, why are they on second life instead of WOW. Problem, I think so... Wow, three groups, you really are good at staying busy.

Were there not more witch craft groups you could join? Also, explain with examples why you joined these groups. Are you a huge Harry Potter fan from watching the movies, a fascination, or from reading the books? You leave the audience guessing.

I've been trying and have managed a grand total of L$2. it seems like welfare is the way to go if you want to buy things in SL. As for World of warcraft, I've never played but it's cool that they can replicate so much inside second life. The Harry Potter group was probably created in the fan mania before the release of the seventh book, and much of that had died down. Good luck finding a better one though.

There were no notifications or events which was kind of disappointing because it'd be fun to have events at the WoW island. And good luck making that money with welfare, haha.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter and my brothers both play World of Warcraft so I definitely don't want anything to do with it, but it is good you found groups that were in the same vein as your interests. I'm sure there are other groups out there that are more active than the two you're in and would give you a more rewarding experience, you just have to find them.

I too would like to be able to buy my way into groups but it just so happens that my revenue is only about $2/15min. Even though many things in SL are free, if you want solid items you've got to get that paper.

Try to add more information in terms of feelings, i.e. you joined these groups because of your interest. You could have added to this sentence or continued with the same thought. For example, when you referred to Harry Potter you could have stated that you have read every book and it took you one night to finish the final book (this is just a guess but you probably have something that makes your interest in Harry Potter attention-grabbing). This information adds a little spice and passion into your writing. While I do not like a bullshit artist I like to see what makes people tick and these blogs are not technical writing so spice is appropriate. (16) The organization of the blog was organized but had no paragraphs. You need to separate your thoughts into paragraphs. The first two sentences was an introduction, each group after should be a paragraph. Then your last three sentences are a conclusion. (4) The information in the blog was good, all topics were addressed, and most questions were answered wit at least two sentences (3) The mechanics of your writing contain almost no grammatical, spelling or punctuation errors. (3) The quality of the information clearly relates to the main topic; however you it only provides 1-2 supporting details and/or examples. You may want to consider taking pictures and inserting them in your post. (3) Finally you provide some source information but you should state the island you have visited and provide some pictures in the future (3) The blog was plain but to the point, which is the number one criteria.
