DISQUS

Blending the mix: Second Life characters in other games?

    Actually, Spin Martin and his various story-siblings, exist in many other worlds/platforms (with a special exception to WoW).

    I don't make a distinction with the Spin avatar, other than Spin might work at place A and have contacts there, Spin might live at place B and have contacts there; with many mutual contacts throughout. He's built the same (Spin is part real/part designed, but we can extrapolate existence.

    One more thing, do we need a single social network? Or portal? It's like being on AIM or Skype, using Google, and Flickr, all different companies with their own systems. Google has Google Groups and yet so does Yahoo... I have to be where my community is, because the overhead is too high to migrate not just me, but the whole crew. It's easier to stay put.

    I see people raving about Google Reader, and yet, I'm a bit lazy to have to do anything to budge my newsreading experience (even if it is the best thing since the Internets. I dunno.)

    Eric, great point! There is a reason communities choose not to mix and as a result develop their own communities further - although the spin side of this is that it may put newbs off.

    Great point too about the multiple worlds - the human brain is the one behind every online character so in theory, where the creativity and the software allows you can be the same person in whatever RPG you are in...but the potential for comedy with a Second Life avatar in WoW has GOT to be worth the research!
