Introducing Metaversatility

[captainblur]

So I've been doing work in virtual worlds lately, lots of it. Primarily I've been working in Second Life(www.secondlife.com), I had an independent contracting service (Peter Newell Custom Scripting Services, www.pnewell.com), and have recently moved to found Metaversatility (www.metaversatility.com) a full service development company. So far it's

I always found Second Life so sleazy, so I never spent much time there. Would be interested in hearing your thoughts on it, though.

Much like the web, once you get past the porn and gambling offers, there's a wealth of rich content.

Check out: New World Notes, Second Life Insider, Second Style, the Metaverse Messenger, and SL Business Magazin for some great examples of 'what do I do in SL.' :)

Thanks! I'll check out the links when I get home.

I've just been so reluctant to spend any time there because of the sleaze, shameless product endorsements, and from what I've heard from other people, "lol omg Prok is stupid Anshe sucks drama drama FIC drama and Snow Crash roooooolz!" I guess it's just always felt like a giant chat room to me. I've been waiting to find out what the real depth is from people who actually enjoy it. I don't even get much info out of my fiance, who hung out in SL for years, and continues to run the IRC channel.

*laughs and laughs and laughs* Oh, that's priceless. Also, your fiance runs the IRC channel? What a FICy McFICerpants. ;)

In Second Life, I really enjoy going to live music shows, book discussions, presentations and lectures, shopping (shameful! :D ), and playing games like Giant Snail Racing and Combat Cards, Acrophilia, trivia games, etc. There's also one social club I enjoy a lot where I attend rebroadcasts of old BBC comedy shows, book readings, some really great dj-ed dance nights (Blues, Lounge, Eclectic, World, etc on various nights), as well as live music events there.

I also work in SL, as evidenced by Peter's announcement post here. I have done marketing and promotions for many events, products, and organizations. Now I also manage large-scale development projects. As a side hobby, I design hand-painted clothing.
