How can we bring new residents to Second Life and keep them here? See the Designing Worlds discussion!

You can now see the recent Designing Worlds show discussing issues related to Second Life retention on the web.

In this show, we are joined by some of the people who’ve been involved in the ongoing web discussion of this issue – Carl Metropolitan Chancellor Emeritus at Caledon Oxbridge, Caledon Oxbridge Chancellor, 2009 to 2012; Executive Director of NCI/New Citizens Incorporated, 2005 to 2009, and Jo Yardley of 1920s Berlin and the Drax Radio Files, together with two people who are working on the production side of this at Linden Lab – Brooke Linden and DaveR Linden.

We discuss three aspects of the retention problem – how Second Life is marketed, how the initial experience is managed and how to embed new residents so that they remain and become integrated. We share ideas – and learning more about developments at the Lab – including the introduction of the new avatars.
