facebook + Second Life

Well, after coming back from my summer holiday, I spent 6 weeks of endless nights blasting through lsl, php and facebook code... to proudly bring you: Second Life Link! That's right! You can now link your Facebook profile to your Second life account. By why would you want to do that??? Here's what our application can do:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


What does Second Life Link do?
This application integrates the worlds most popular social networking applications, Facebook, with the worlds most popular Virtual World – Second Life! With our Facebook application you can:

Show your SL Avatar to your RL Friends
If your friend uses the Second Life, and they use our application, you will be able to see their Second Life name and Avatar – so you can meet virtually!

View your friends Online Status in Facebook
Our application will show your friend’s Second Life online/offline. This will help you to synchronize virtual meeting times!


Share your Virtual Home / Favorite Locations with your Friends
We give you the option to specify your favorite or Home SL Destination with your friends. That way, they can easily teleport to you when you are online, or visit your virtual home when you are offline.

Excellent Privacy Settings
Privacy is our number one concern. Therefore, we have several privacy settings so you can choose whether or not your friends can see you online or offline in SL.


Second Life Link is currently in our beta stage -meaning, it may have bugs in it. I hope you can help us find them, and make the application better!
Please email fire@b3d.co.kr if you have any questions! See you online!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forward
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are two ways you can install Second Life Link. You can either install it by

1)First touching the terminal, and THEN going to Facebook to verify, OR
2) First adding our application in Facebook, and THEN clicking on the terminal

If you choose the first way, you will have to enter a verification code in Facebook which we will provide to you after clicking our terminal.

If you do it the second way, you don't have to enter any verification code, you just need to install our facebook app, by going to: http://apps.facebook.com/second-life/?canvas
and then click the terminal for auto verification.

attending a virtual conference with 30 educators

tonight was really cool! I was about to go to bed at 4am, and then I received a teleport request to go to the NMC Conference Center... so I teleported, and found myself amongst about 30 avatars, and a speakers voice started pumping through my speakers... What I was hearing was the REAL LIFE conference that was occuring at that very second in Chicago... what an experience. WHile he talked, the rest of us who where virtually present, chatted back and forth about what he was talking about. Totally interactive... very cool.
