Glenn's Tips for Businesses

Glenn's tips for businesses to get started in Second Life:

1. Instead of Help Island, visit the Shelter. This is a place for new Residents run by Residents. I've always found them friendly and helpful.

1. Visit Dublin, usually there are people hanging out dancing and chatting there at one of several 'bars'. But it's also a cool recreation of downtown Dublin. Likewise Diegoland (virtual San Diego) - lots of events, and a nice recreation of "old town" San Diego.

1. Take advantage of the classes and support for new users at New Citizens Incorporated (NCI) - Kuula or Hamnida

1. Visit the International SpaceFlight Museum - built by volunteers - Spaceport Alpha

1. Read some of the back issues of Second Opinion, and visit some of the Top 10 sites listed (top 10 waterfalls, top 10 gardens, etc.):

1. Try your hand at building at the Ivory Tower of Prims, Natoma. Sandboxes and building tutorial sites tend to be busy and good ways to meet people.

1. See the real-time US weather map at Science School

1. Visit Reuters to get the latest news

1. Visit Weather Channel's Weather islands and go surfing, biking or skiing (and meet others)

Get the book "Second Life the Official Guide" - it's got lots of good suggestions of places to go and things to do in Second Life.
