For the social media event, I registered a second life account. Then I realize second life is essentially social media. Let’s take a look at the common features among the two.
1. Conversation
Social media boasts for two-way communication. Second life includes an IM feature, but it also has voice chat, rendering it far more of a conversation enabler than Facebook or MySpace.
2. Community
We regard every social media platform a community for example a Facebook fan base, or a Twitter group. Second life contains a deeply connected and immersive community. What’s more, your Second Life community exists within 3-D spaces where your avatar can move about, greet with other avatars, even party with them.
3. Groups
Almost every social media platform has group feature, say, we can set up a private study group for our CPR590-T. Second life also has groups where you can broadcast notices; send IMs to group members who are online at the same time.
4. Events
Facebook Events render us an easy way to initiate and get feedbacks about a gathering as well as serves as a reminder to those who are always bad at schedules. But a Second Life event is way different from what we have in the real world. An event in Second Life is the epitome of interactivity with images, sound, voice, movement, actions and reactions.
5. Advertising
Since more and more businesses are heading into social media to generate profits, advertising on social media platforms is already a must-have trend for every company. There are many advertising methods available in Second life as well as the ability to give away or sell goods and services. Second life allows you to sponsor, purchase and display in a virtual world
