I do a lot of IM and group chat in Facebook. MySl could give us similar service (not going through a SL server) if in had a group system with groups matching the current SL groups. I think (hope) that feature is in the works. *MySL = my.secondlife.com I am running a poll on new features for MySL, so drop by if you want to vote. The group chat issue is not up for vote yet. But it is listed for later consideration. Background: Wish List for MySL http://virtualoutworlding.blogspot.com/2011/08/stech-wish-list-for-mysl-with-polls.html Thinkerer

Browser on prim is not available in Phoenix.. You could not see the video even if you had a prepared prim. If you want to show Youtube, I think your best bet is to go to viewer 2 (3 now) or Firestorm While there have been scripts that showed YouTube on prims, they have not been satisfactory in the long run. You don't need to fool with the details of making a prim browser -- Just go to the Hobo Helpers HQ on Cookie: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cookie/136/100/22 Hobo Helpers HQ on Cookie --Hobo Kits Pick up a Hobo kit and look for a BOP object already scripted.
