You can earn real dollars in SL, so why not set up shop

Join the happy people at SL, forge a new career and share
good times with your close circle of avatars.
Enjoy!
“Ning” and “43 Things”: Online social networking. October 12, 2006
Posted by dean in Uncategorized.add a comment
Okay, so the world is a weird place full of self absorbed and shallow
people that you have nothing in common with, or is it? Online social
networks provide people with an opportunity to communicate,
share media, and discuss goals with networked people from around
the world.
At ning.com, you can blog, upload images and video all at the one site.
It’s like a one-stop-shop for social software junkies. Think youtube.com
with more options.
Or maybe you are just trying to find people with the same dreams and
aspirations as yourself. No problems there, just check out the 43 things
site to find people with similar goals. Perhaps you always planned to
learn French, or you had a dream to trek across the Himalyas. At
43 Things, you can share your dreams and inspire others to achieve
the lofty heights of self improvement regimes.You can also get
support from your online peers.
You can find out more about 43 Things at the link below.

Posted by dean in Social Software.1 comment so far
Hiya,
Do you have a burning desire to create the next big brand logo?
Perhaps you want to create a limited edition book or an e-novel.
As Liza Minnelli would say “I have a solution”.
Online self publishing is a fast, fun and easy way to create products
for an international market that is hungry to BUY, BUY, BUY!
Forget about the AB-CRUNCHER and the THIGH-BLASTER.
Check out the following websites and discover
how easy it is to whip up your own books and cheesy merchandise.
At http://www.cafepress.com/ you can design logos and slogans
for a wide range of homewares and clothing. The best part is that
it’s all free. Just upload the design and the customer pays for
for the production costs if they order your product.
At http://www.lulu.com/ you can create your very own
publishing empire. Everyone has a good book inside them,
even if it is “The Little Book of Calm”. Connect with the
author within, go forth and PUBLISH!

Mobile Karaoke, Anyone?
Olga Kharif (Business Week Online) cited 6.9.06
This summer, Grammy Thailand, a mobile carrier, had launched a mobile karaoke application. You can play a song over your phone’s speakerphone and sing along. Better yet, you can record your own voice singing the tune, overlay the recording over the music and send the whole thing to your friends………………..click here for more
For more info on Mobile Karaoke look check out.

Blogging is a PW course requirement, and it’s worth 20%
of your total mark, so if don’t have a blog, now is the time
to set one up. If you need help with blogging, just ask me
during class or arrange an appointment with me.
If you haven’t had a chance to check out some of
the blogs by your fellow PW crew members, then
now is the time to check em out cause there are
plenty of interesting articles and weblinks.
Together we are creating a free resource of shared
information, and that’s a damn fine thing in my books.
Enjoy,
Dean.
