in Blogging Tips and Strategies on Webomatica
Wow. You covered it so very well. I've got to stop reading your blog, it's competing with my new time-sink "SL".
After blogging every couple of weeks for a couple of months (and taking the opposite tack from most of your strategies as well) I too wrote on blogging itself, but more on the "Why?" question, as in "Why blog?".
So now I have a half-assed occasional diversion that gives me some satisfaction but few readers.

in Second Life: Newbie Confusion on Webomatica
Your writing is very clear.
It's a weird place. But the costs are minimal if you're going to be a tourist.

in Second Life: I Have 4 Dollars on Webomatica
You put it so well.
I also spent six hours investigating all corners of this world yesterday, and had some similar impressions.
I've spent the past two hours reading blogs via technorati (how I found yours) and googling.
Other impressions:
It's as good as your destination, and the time spent time asking people for the best spots paid off.
It's exhilarating to fly.
I of course checked out sex clubs and a nudist beach, which along with gambling and porn accounts for much of it, and there's a deserted strip mall feeling to much of the rest. But all of this, I can see, is avoidable. Years ago I taught Engrish in Tokyo and as a broke and disoriented gaijin newcomer I saw Japanese trash culture everywhere I looked, unless I stumbled across a special, half-hidden place. By the end of my stay, the beautiful and interesting places were where I spent most of my time outside of work.
Conversations were hit and miss. Most were like half-scary bus station banter, but others, in a tower in the Myst-like settings of "Svarga" and "Apollo" and the virtual bookstore "Shakespeare and Co." were as good as they get while tapping keys.
All in all, I'm impressed. The coding and chat technology will get better. I think it can add rather than subtract from a life.
