Upon landing on their website, they have rated the top ten web hosts at the top left of their page. Elsewhere, they have web hosting articles as your resource to help you with strategies of picking the right service that fits your needs. For example, they provide articles for strategies on how to pick cheap web hosting.

They also provide CPanel tutorials which can be very helpful to someone who has never used CPanel before. They show you an introduction to CPanel along with how to use various programs and gadgets that come with it. If you ever get confused, leave them a comment or search their article database.

Webhostingrating goes over in depth about multiple domain hosting and the pros and cons. They explain reseller accounts as well as dedicated hosting account. I personally think Webhostingrating is a great place to start for beginners or anyone who is looking to shop around for hosting and domains. Their articles provide you with the knowledge to be able to find the best deals as well as the best deals technologically speaking. Pay them a visit.

There are four main categories right now:

Virtual Worlds Hollywood
Enterprise Virtual Worlds
Kids Virtual Worlds
The Future of Virtual Worlds

I was going through the list of speakers and I noticed that no one from Linden Labs will be speaking. [As of yet] You would think Second Life would be a big part of this expo. If you are going to be in the Los Angeles area Sept. 3rd-4th, 2008 reserve your spot and stop by. Should be interesting! If anyone goes…comment on this post and let us know about it.

I’ve always been fascinated about online worlds and the people who populate them. Second Life is by far the most popular FREE virtual world. Well, it’s free to an extent. But that’s not the point. What do you do in SL? Some people set up shop, some own nightclubs, and some sell real estate. I’m a wander personally. I just wander around and explore. Sometime I will hit up a club or the latest happening, but I like to wander and network with people/ avatars. So lets pop this question again…what do you do in Second Life?

The proof that Second Life can be useful for more than just clubbing, buying clothes, and setting up shop. I’ve always been a believer in networking and SL has that covered. Have you ever been to an online job fair?

Sbrunozzi over at Second Life pros attended a recent job fair for an Amazon position and was picked to fly to Seattle for the final round of interviews. She has made it to top level interviews thanks to Second Life! I’ll definitely follow up on her story to see if she landed the job. Congratulations from SL Exposed!

There are some really cool places to visit in Second Life. Whether you are new or a seasoned Second Life pro, I’ll be going around to some parties, places, and must see attractions to give you the scoop. For my first stop, I thought a beach party would be nice.
It’s always fun to get your groove on to reggae music while basking in the hot hot sun. Here at Irie Vibes you can party it up right on the beach. That’s right, a popular beach party destination every Saturday where you can listen to 8 hours of reggae music and dance under the palms.

It’s paradise…oh not to mention you can relax in beach chairs while you enjoy the party or you can sit on the beach itself.

Relax.

Party. This destination is pretty popular so don’t be worried about a dud party. When I made my way into the action, there were people dancing, talking, and relaxing all over the place.

Dance. Dance to the beat of reggae 24/7! I don’t know why, but recently the people/ avatars in SL have appeared as lines and blobs. Anyone else experiencing that? You can see evidence of the problem in these snapshots I took.


That wraps up my visit. Until next time, sip a pina colada and
be sure to check it out every Saturday!

Well I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a beautiful looking building and the knowledge contained therein is helpful and easy to understand. There are tons of interactive tutorials on subjects like ‘how to build’ etc. I walked around it for quite some time, looking at all the various exhibits. I came across this ‘complicated’ looking piece and thought to myself ‘wow, I’d bet that’s hard to build’.. Well, I followed the instructions and I was amazed at how easy it actually was.. really just a matter of using the ‘drag & copy’ technique with some ‘rotation’ thrown in for good measure. I think it’s simple techniques like this that are often overlooked.

So why not pay the Ivory Tower a visit…you might just learn something new!

Since we’re still having a few technichal problems I can’t post a link but here’s the slurl so you can copy/paste it into your browser.
