I have been meaning to submit a post to thank you for sharing the details on this previous virtual conference. This is one of the posts that got me interested in exploring the world of Second Life and virtual conferences in general. Since then, we've been playing around with having our own team meetings using virtual conferences for Second Life at work. I have found it to be far more entertaining to have virtual conferences using the new Crowne Plaza Conference Center that is currently free to use in Second Life. This is more entertaining than using Glance, GoToMeeting, or WebEx.

I think is really cool that you can use audio chat and even Powerpoint Presentations in the virtual meetings. I'm sure we will start seeing more of such conference centers pop up in Second Life. In any event, if anyone wants more information on how to set up virtual conferencing in Second Life, you can check out the article that I bought that saved me a lot of time in figuring out the setup myself: Second Life virtual conferencing ( http://www.innoventum.com/secondlifevirtualconfere... )

Hi,

The SecondLlife during this day doesn´t permit creat an account free!

They say:
«They Linden Lab reserves the right to limit the number of Second Life accounts an individual may have!«

I can´t follow conference yet, from Lisbon!!!

But I`m sure it´s a sucess!

Regards

Cristina

sometimes my name shows up in search, some times it does not. SL is funny that way.

You can also search for "blogher" and find the conf. site! OR email me your avatar name and I'll be come find YOU

I was bummed to have to miss yet another BlogHer event, but the travel just wasn't feasible for me. I'll be thrilled to participate in Second Life.

FYI, there is already a lot of good stuff going on in there. For example, I co-facilitate a weekly meetup for the SL Netroots group at RootsCamp on Progressive Island. There are also a lot of nonprofit orgs with offices on Commonwealth Island and in the Nonprofit Commons. There's even a Code Pink chapter in SL!

So come on in, sisters. The water's fine.

(PS: My name in SL is Ruby Glitter.)

Great idea. I'm all registered.

Sitting around tables in San Jose blogging and IMing was like being in Second Life last year anyway.

This is so, so awesome! I just found out I can't go to the conference (but I am giving away my registration pass this week) and this will be a great way to experience a bit of it virtually! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have NO IDEA what this all means, but I am so intrigued by that I am going to make it my life's mission to figure it out and somehow participate. Hell, I am degreed several times over. So wish me luck.

Love,

Thank you for doing this for the SL'ers who can participate. I have enough trouble with my Primary Life so I've never dipped into SL.

I'm afraid that if I started using SL I won't stop. I'd never see actual daylight again.

From the thought to the word to the deed. BlogHer women get it done. Wow!

Gena - Out On The Stoop ( http://outonthestoop.blogspot.com )

Sounds like a great opportunity. I'm a bit hesitant about SL due to pop-ups, spyware, yadayada. What's your advice on that?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I can honestly say I have had NO issues with popups, spyware, or any of the above due to Second life. Not one.

And I KNOW it looks a bit complicated at first...but that's why I'm here! I promise to hold your hand until you are flying around and shopping like a pro!

Office hours are coming up today! Get on and let's explore!

Queen Tureaud, you are going to be one busy lady at Virtual BlogHer! What a great idea!

I figured you wouldn't recommend something with junk on it, but had to ask. I'll be working on making time to explore SL pre-conference and enjoy the conference via SL.

Thanks.

I'm a huge Second Life fan and one of my blogs is based around it. I personally have never had any issues with spyware, pop ups or any other security risks. I'd be happy to help answer questions about Second Life too!

Also glad to help! (And no, pop-ups and spyware haven't been an issue.

But if you are concerned about having the viewer on your hard drive, I know a lot of people who just download it to a flash drive.

The only tech issue that comes up with SL is that it is frequently updated, but that is a minor inconvenience.

Or maybe I will. So I can protect the others. ;)

Anyway, another female Second Life avie coming to the conference in-world and willing to help out when needed. I neither had any problems with the spyware, pop ups, ... but I do suggest you try to create an avatar before the contest and give it some decent looks. If needed any help with that, just IM (instant message ;)) 'Vint Falken' in-world (in Second Life).
