MySL for promoting your event
-
MySL is a web-based social network system integrated with Second Life. To reach it, point your browser to:
-
*You can let anyone follow you: go to the MySL page
https://my.secondlife.com/
Settings -- Privacy tab --
Feed Controls who can see your profile feed and your posts.
Set to Everyone.
With this setting, people do not have to be on your friends list to follow your posts.
You can see who is following you :
People -- Followers
-
People can also see your posts (and therefore some of your past activities) by looking at your profile.
-
I keep my feed stream open in my browser all the time. Since it is in my browser, it does not clutter my viewer screen and I don't have to be online. I can check it just as I check my other active pages. (Active pages = email, Google reader, weather, news, MySL, Facebook. Google Circles) As of now, I probably see most anything posted on my feed. Future: Based on my experience with Twitter, I will probably need a MySL system that allows lists, circles, or groups.
-
How would I use it to promote events? Post notices about upcoming events. Post pictures of an event in progress. Send people to your profile--they can see what you have been doing from your past stream of postings.

then click on the button: Post to My Profile Feed.
-
Who sees you post? The post goes to the feed stream of everybody of everybody who follows you. (Follow--think Twitter.) That includes people who choose* to follow you and people on your friends list unless they chose not to follow you. Whether they see it depends on how much attention they are paying to their feed stream. If one of these people clicks the Love button, it also goes to their friends and followers. -

As friends and other followers know, I've been using my.secondlife.com and the "Feed" function of Viewer 3.x for the last couple of months. I like it, but I wish LL would enable cross posting for images to your choice of Social Media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Picasa, Google+, etc. The ultimate would be to be able to cross post video captures (Machinima) directly to YouTube!
ReplyDeleteI agree. A post on the general social media would get a lot more visibility.
