You 2.0: Three Steps to being a Socialite

This morning I was privileged to join the Reconstructed Session presenting a talk titled You 2.0: Three steps to being a Socialite. The key team steps shared with the guys was that they have to Create, Share and Engage as part of being a socialite.

Seeing the New Reconstructed group enaging with social media (See picture above) and starting this journey is really excited under the leadership of Craig Ross and Brent Williams.

Drug Advice Support (DAS) through Second Life...

Well after much consideration and with the hope that we can link into the Second Life (SL) Instant Messanger (IM), we will be investigating the possibilities of linking our Drug Advice Support (DAS) system with SL. This will allow us to communicate to subscribers through a Avatar in the SL Virtual Environment. This will present us with another possible market of people who might be in need of advice and support.

Quick update on DAS, I just added another 102 subscribers. We've had some comments that DAS should be available after our 5pm deadline. We hope to extend this time when we manage to get support with infrastructure and other resources...

Using Second Life for Education

The clip below just reinstates the possibilities with Second Life (SL). With proper infrastructure (connectivity and bandwidth etc.) in a developing community the possibility exists to setup a virtual space for very specific role play and interacting in a real environment that would normally not be possible in these communities. The possibilities are endless and hope this video serves as a reminder of what we could achieve with technology as an empowerment enabler.
