Social Media and Virtual Worlds Commentary
A good friend of mine has fallen victim to cyberstalking, which admittedly I didn’t realise until randomly checking out a username to see they’d done dozens of searches for their name to reach my blog. There are legal rights and protections in place for anyone in this position to be able to safeguard themselves, and [...]

A close friend of mine has been trying for the past two months to try and make it in the SL modelling business, but hasn’t been able to work out why everyone keeps closing doors on her.

Overexposure is a dangerous thing, and I’ve thought for too long that there’s too much attention being paid to the words I write here, and the activities I do in world. I’ve toyed with the idea for too long, but there [...]
Okay – so apparently not many people seem to be able to make a coherent argument which doesn’t stem from “zomg – you’re a dramaz queeenz!”.
