Uberexplorer

An uberexplorer is a very awesome and rare person who's prolifically traveled around Second Life — and not only that, shared their discoveries and benefited others. As a SL version of the Gladwellian Maven-Connector hybrid archetype, they're obsessive about exploring and spreading the word about great stuff.

While strict rules don't exist, to be an uberexplorer-class avatar, you should:

• Visit at least 50 different regions a month you haven't been before
• Keep a blog (or other means, like Flickr stream) to chronicle your adventures
• Have been blogging for at least 6 months — persistence matters!
• Share at least two remarkable discoveries a week
• Your blog is mainly Second Life-focused
• Have an active, healthy commenter community
• Not be doing this for commercial purposes (e.g., you're sharing your joy, as opposed to being paid to blog)

You don't need to fulfill all the above criteria — it's merely intended to give you a better idea. An uberexplorer isn't necessarily the same as a frequent blogger —

I'd rather include than exclude people, so a simple thing to do is:

Ask yourself, "Who keeps telling me about stuff I end up exceptionally enjoying?"'

The answer to that is likely... an uberexplorer!
