Glenn's Tips for Businesses

Suggestions for getting started in Second Life

• 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.

• 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.

• Take advantage of the classes and support for new users at New Citizens Incorporated (NCI) - Kuula or Hamnida Islands. Check out the Events listing for other classes and events.

• Visit the International SpaceFlight Museum - built by volunteers - Spaceport Alpha

• 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.): Best Bets, Fab Five and Best Bets.

• Try your hand at building at the Ivory Tower Library of Primitives. Sandboxes and building tutorial sites tend to be busy and good ways to meet people.

• See the real-time US weather map at School.

• Visit Reuters to get the latest news.

• Visit Weather Channel's Weather Island 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.
