A new application for Facebook is merging the social network with that other king of time killing, Second Life.
Called Second Life Link, the new app allows you to display your avatar on your profile, and also indicate when you’re on and off line in the virtual world. If your friends also have the app installed, you’ll be able to see each other’s avatars. The new application also allows you to share your favorite locations in the popular virtual world. This will allow them to teleport to your location easily when you’re online, or allow them to see your home, even when you’re not there.
With the popular CBS show, CSI:New York, having an episode revolve around a murder in Second Life this week, and encouraging viewers to check out the virtual murder, there are sure to be lots of new players this week. Seems like a perfect time for a Facebook app to me with so many new people getting introduced to the online world through mainstream media.
User comment: By: Firehave you tried Second Life? Many people rub it off as just a game.. however, if you've been following the web, you may notice we are experiencing a revolution... it's called the Web3d or i3d (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web3D_Consortium) Instead of visiting a homepage, people will be visiting HomeRooms. Secondlife is what you make it -- if you want all the porn and casinos, im sure you'll certainly find them. But, I am working on the positive side of SL - such as the potential of virtual 3d Realms for distance education, and business collaboration) Dont be too quick to sign this off as a game guys - give it a go. I know its not for everyone, but hey... neiter was the www not long ago - stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
