No point in my pretending to give it an unbiased review. Of course I think it is good. I have been enjoying Eva's musical comedy performances in Second Life for years. This DVD is up to her usual standards.
-
More importantly, she tells you what she learned about dealing with disaster. Or maybe it was what she learned about herself.

Virtual Worlds: A practice field for

Social media/public relations
Social Media Specialist. This job title is not yet recognized by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (US), but it probably will be soon. I searched Google for that term and got over 6 million hits (some as Public Relations Specialist). Courses and certification are being offered by universities such as SMU.
-
In RL work, the Bureau of Labor Statistics prices such work at about $26. to $55 (USD) per hour, but that is for established professionals with a documented track record. Big companies may have a Social Media Manager. Preparation for that line of work is offered, for example, by Saint Leo University.
-
There may be some people in virtual worlds who will take on the job for a modest fee. It would provide good practice, an opportunity to build a contact list (in Linkedin), and perhaps an occasion for building a blog audience. Tasks like this in virtual worlds might be useful for:

2914 HOBBY: OPENSIM: Vehicles: Jetskiing and Hang Gliding on a Megaregion
Vehicles: Jetskiing and Hang Gliding on a Megaregion
-
Megaregions in Opensim may be the natural homes for vehicles because there are no sim borders to cross.

Published on Jan 22, 2014
Varregions (also called* Megaregions) are an experimental feature of OpenSimulator that allow multiple 256 x 256 meter regions to be combined in to a single larger region, such that there is no border transition between regions. Megaregions are already available in for regular use in Kitely and are not experimental.
-
*Correction: I understand that there are technical differences between Varregions and Megaregions. From the standpoint of the users, they are similar. Here is the technical difference as given by Sarge Misfit:

This is a video of a scripted Hang Glider and scripted Jet Ski on the Next Reality Water Islands which is a 100 Sim Megaregion. Both of the vehicles cope very well with the Megaregion without any lagging, dipping, going underground, getting flung into oblivion and/or viewer/OS Instance crashing because the vehicle gets to a part of the region it doesn't like. If Megaregions are set up right and the scripts are set to use them then it doesn't matter how big your megaregion is. -- Mike HartVarregions

*Correction: I understand that there are technical differences between Varregions and Megaregions. From the standpoint of the users, they are similar. Here is the technical difference as given by Sarge Misfit:
Selby, Varregions are NOT also called Megaregions. They are very different.-A large megaregion probably does not have a proportionally large increase in the number of prims or avatars it can handle. Thus a lot of water and open land may be just what the megaregion needs.
A megaregion is a number of standard sized regions that are "stitched" together so that they behave as if they are one large single region. But, in the end, they are still regions and, as such, each one has its own set of data.-Varregion, though, is a single region of variable size. You can set that size to almost any that you want. Although there are certain limitations, it is still just one region.-Consider two land areas, one is 512m by 512m and the other is 1,024m by 1,024m. Using megaregions the first requires having four regions defined during setup while the second requires having 16 regions defined.-Using varregions, each of those requires having just one region defined during setup.
-
Kitely offers a megaregion (advanced world) with 16 regions for about $100 (USD) per month. This advanced world can handle 100,000 prims and 100 avatars (but maybe not both at once).

Why is J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy so compelling? How about The Matrix or Harry Potter? What makes these disparate worlds come alive are clear, consistent rules for how people, societies -- and even the laws of physics -- function in these fictional universes. Author Kate Messner offers a few tricks for you, too, to create a world worth exploring in your own words.-
