2018 TECH: IMA: Avatars on the web. Ruth 2.0. DragNDrop. Paper dolls

Avatars on the web.  
DragNDrop.  
Ruth 2.0  Paper dolls

Do these suggest a business model?  Paper dolls did.   But they are paper.  Ruth 2.0 is digital.  How can you get paper dolls onto the web.  And where would they go on the web?  How would they get there?  Where would you keep them?    This is all too complicated.
Ruth 2.0

License 

Ruth 2.0 is AGPL listed, which means she must always be free and you must pass that freedom on to others. This does not prohibit you making and selling clothing, skins, accessories, hair and other parts for her.
Project Ruth 2.0 - an Open Source Mesh Avatar by Shin Ingen.  Ruth 2.0 is a low-poly mesh body, and is specifically designed for Opensimulator. She is built to use standard SL UV maps using a scratch-built mesh body.

2017 BIZ: Did the closure of Zangrid result in loss of items bought on Kitely Market?

Did the closure of Zangrid result in 
loss of items bought on Kitely market?
Branded creators may be concerned that customers have lost some of their products as a result of the closure of Zangrid.  Exportable products could be taken to another grid, but items that are not exportable would be lost.  Items bought on Kitely Market would have a record of sale and some branded creators might want to offer replacements.  But they would need a way to contact customers. 
  • ZanGrid to close after five years as an OpenSim grid
  • The issue was discussed in a recent Kitely Community meeting.
  • Exportable items could be taken to Digiworldz or elsewhere.
  • But non-exportable items die with the grid.
  • Kayaker Magic asked about mass re-delivery of his products. 
  • Mass re-delivery of goods will get limited implementation on Kitely Market. 
  • But only delivery to Kitely avatars.  
  • Delivery to other grids results in too many problems requiring customer service.

2017 WW: BIZ: IMA: Live marketing in web-worlds: Can virtual worlds get a piece of the action?

Live marketing in web-worlds:   
Can virtual worlds get a piece of the action?
The concept  of live marketing in web-worlds is presented, with discussion about how the existing virtual world community can contribute to and benefit from this development.  
Web-world for nonprofits 
and public service organizations

What is live marketing?

  • On a live radio show, you could call in and talk to a live host.
  • It was happening live right then.
  • Same with a live TV show.  
  • Same with a live web-world.  
  • You come into my web-world at 10 am California time on a week day.
  • I expect to be there.  Live.  I am not very entertaining.  
  • But I can tell you about virtual worlds and web-worlds.
  • And what's happening there.   
  • And if you ask me about them, I'll probably be live marketing to you.
  • Or look around at Webworldz.     
  • I don't have a scheduled time there--yet.

2014 TKR: Perfection is not success. Success is achieving what you set out to do

Perfection is not success.  
Success is achieving what you set out to do 

The key to curing perfectionism is to get better at goal setting.  Yes, a paradox.  Perfectionists fail at goal-setting so they don't know when they have reached the goal.
  • To succeed on those terms, you have to know what you set out to do.   
  • That's the secret:  Perfectionism comes from an imperfect start.  
  • There are two questions to ask yourself before you start:
  • What am I setting out to do?  
  • How will I know when I am finished?
