[The Second Life Economy in Q4 2010]

Alice, I don't know if LL is going to address the "block" issue, but we're talking about what to do about it in the Firestorm project. Expect to see something more than Show/Discard/Block.

[Getting Immersed in Second Life]

Welcome indeed, Rod. I've been saying that LL needed folks at the helm who truly understood what the world was about and what people did, and I'm glad to see you're finding out firsthand.

Now, find a few clubs, hang out, meet people, listen to DJs, put up with the Unicode gesture spam, and have a good time.

I'd be remiss, though, if I didn't recommend that you pick up more than just Viewer 2, once you became comfortable inworld. There's a lot of hate and discontent about Viewer 2 in the user community, and you need to find out why yourself, in order to make informed decisions about what to do in that area. I'll personally recommend the Phoenix Viewer, but then, I'm a bit biased...
