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!
