Strawberry Singh Fashion Videos Featured In PC Gamer

Strawberry Singh Shares Coffee

Hamlet Au over at New World Notes recently posted an article praising Second Life users videos on YouTube : YouTube Talkshow: SL Blogger Alicia Chenaux On The History Of Second Life.

Hamlet featured Alicia Chenaux’s video and mentioned talk show type videos, but they are far from the only type of Second Life videos on YouTube, which has been exemplified by an article in PC Gamer by Steven Messner : Second Life’s makeup unboxing videos are surreal and wonderful.

The article features videos and a text based interview with popular Second Life fashionista blogger Strawberry Singh. Fear not those who are not fashionistas, the article is actually interesting and makes positive points about Second Life, despite starting out mentioning some negative stereotypes that we are all too familiar with.

Second Life Official Quick Tip Video Features Torley Without Friendly Greetings!

Another blog post has appeared over the last 24 hours, almost as if someone found a dusty box in the corner of a room and realised it is still a useful tool. This one is a quick tip video about changing your avatar appearance and promotes shopping, largely on the marketplace but it does make a reference to inworld shopping too, yes it does still exist!

The blog post can be read here, I’ll embed the video at the end of the post. This video sounds like it was produced by Torley, I mean it sounds like Torley but there’s no “Friendly Greetings!” … how can a Torley video not have friendly greetings? Did that end up on the cutting room floor because it’s a quick tip?

The video itself seems to be aimed at new users and is the sort of video that would be useful inworld at welcome areas, I’m not sure how difficult it is these days to keep YouTube videos working inworld, it would be nice to be able to put such videos in newcomer friendly places but I know that in the past, YouTube videos have had a habit of no longer working.
