Forgive me father for I have sinned....

Forgive me father for I have sinned, it has been 16 days since my last post. A lot has been going on in the house of Carlie - well I sold my house, moved into an apartment, with a roommate. So now it's the flat of Carlie & roomie?

Now that I'm settled it's time to get back to my regular ranting. Updates ......

Coming soon to a itunes near you will be a podcast I'm starting with Mrs. Rhiannon Chatnoir - which will be hosted by SLNN. Between her brain power and my stupid humor, it's going to be so much fun.

Getting ready for my possible trip to London for IQPC's conference on Marketing in Second Life. I say possible because my renewed passport has yet to come in the mail.

After such success (and downright fun) at SLCC in Chicago - SLNN will be giving out NEXT magazine at IQPC's London event then VW - San Jose (then some others). Advertising is now on sale for San Jose but space is tight - as we're doing a special edition insert.

That about fills in the last 16 days. I'm off to do some hail Mary's?

SL Stock Exchanges asking for security?

I've been following an interesting conversation via the comments on the this SLNN article:

http://www.slnn.com/index.php/article.html

Are the SL Stock exchanges unconsciously asking for more security? This buyout of the AVIX exchange is huge in my mind. I never personally trusted Investor Allen - not only did he come in with a load of speculation, but he never answered to it. And my contact with him didn't lead me to believe he was anything more then what everyone else thought (nothing personal I'm sure you may in fact be a great person).

Is Second Life more then a game? If facebook took a dose of steroids and went 3D would it be a game? I don't know......

But know I won't be investing serious rl dollars into the stocks anytime soon.

Should Linden Lab put restrictions on the stock exchanges? At least restrictions put some security in the investments made, although pissing some off I'm sure. If there are no restrictions what makes it different then online gambling?

Still too many questions.........

Opening Post

This is just my way to add to the blog world with my random opinions. As the marketing and sales manager for Second Life News Network - SLNN - http://www.slnn.com/ - I get to network with some of the greats in New Media, so this is going to be a fun way of sharing my experiences and thoughts with whom ever cares to know.

Currently SLNN is about to publish our first print magazine @ SLCC in Chicago. http://slcc2007.wordpress.com/2007/03/07/in-world-convention/
