Weekly events on avastar

I like Avastar, is a rich and “light” magazine: check out the latest event this week.
I think that publishing, and media in general, will gain more and more importance in Second Life: they are a perfect companion, and they’ll also cover more and more “virtual” happenings and events.

Almost! From virtual job fair to a real job

This is my personal story: I’m currently working at the University for Foreigners in Perugia, but soon my life can change a lot.

Copybot

Apparently, Copybots are far from dead. Second Life Herald has an interesting take on it.
