A Brief Brief

For two days Second Life's favourite and most watched media network is throwing open its doors in a bonanza of style, content and fun. All your favourite Treet shows have booths and events happening during the two day event which will blow your socks off (even if you're barefoot).

The Expo will be held on Tropical Treet (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tropical%20Treet/134/214/22) with a mixture of scheduled events and high profile shenanigans going on through out the weekend. There's hunts, prizes, freebies, music, live shows and a chance for you to be on TV.

Set aside some time on January 27 for the next Metanomics show. It looks like a fascinating lead-up to the PBS Frontline documentary airing in February, Life on the Virtual Frontier. Robert Bloomfield will talk with Douglas Rushkoff, writer, teacher, and all-around expert on the subject.

See the full description and the PBS Frontline trailer at Metanomics site

Go to The Impact of Viewer 2 on SL Culture

Dusan poses a question that leads to a fascinating discussion about how "web interface" decisions may truly have an impact upon the culture of residents. Worth a watch!

Go to Sarah talks about Scrum!

"Scrum" might seem like an odd word to describe a software development technique, but you'll be convinced after you listen to Sarah describe the impact this Agile development technique had on innovation and viewer development.

Go to Amanda talks about "Search"

Amanda talks about the challenges in creating good search features, and upcoming plans for the Viewer.

Go to Dusan: Will the new viewer be Open Source?

Dusan asks Amanda and Sarah if the viewer will be open source. Seems like the answer is a bit ambiguous! You be the judge.

Go to Audience: What about accessibility?

Rob starts with the most pressing audience Viewer 2 question about features for those with disabilities.

Filmed in V1

For the curious, this episode was not filmed using the new 2.0 viewer. It includes a short pre-recorded clip as a demo that illustrates one of the media features.
