ReviewBlaster

Secondads.com once again came up with a genius concept to help merchants.

The new REVIEWBLASTER service!

For too long now marketplace merchants have suffered because the LL review system is difficult for inexperienced players to use. Often a product can sell 100s of units without receiving a single review. With REVIEWBLASTER merchants can now incentivise avatars to leave reviews - with no extra work to be done!

Marketplace merchants can now reward avatars who leave reviews for their products using our automatic system.

Merchants ATM

1) Top up your account with a budget
2) Set individual marketplace urls you want to reward reviews on
3) Set the reward amounts for each item

Reviewers ATM

1) Visit our products list on the website to find reviewable products.
2) Complete reviews
3) Touch the ATM and paste in the url of your review to GET PAID INSTANTLY

Amy Nevilly's genius idea helps every merchant who wants their product to be better found on Marketplace. I have and love the service. Just within a few hours my listed products received several reviews with 5 stars. That will put them on the map as a more visible search result.

MERCHANTS! You want to try this. You will love it. Amy had made several amazing products and when it comes to marketing, she is a magician. Try it just to see the fast result.

Faces of Furniture

The most exciting moment of any project is the unveiling. After anticipating for weeks or months of development, envisioning how it will hopefully turn out, and finally arriving at the finish, that day comes to take a step back and see it as a whole completed. Some projects, the best ones, even take on a life of their own; instead of having to push it into form, it seems to dictate what it needs to come alive.

Turning then to this magazine’s mandate to support Capital Exchange traded-companies, two names jump out: Arkad Baxton, who creates home decor, and Jillian Fairey who designs furniture. Also Lynne Lusch came to mind and she was kind enough to answer a few questions that round out the editorial offering. The theme really formed itself!!

Cute factors in the mommy-daddy world...

Second Life is a fantasy world loaded with so many things there truly the imagination is the limit... if that. Most people in the SL population are in there because their real life is miserable, sick, unhappy, dull or lacking in something one way or another.

Second Life Families

Numerous SL families have been formed by people who never knew each other before, some are tight and stick together for a long time, some are not so much and they might end with some drama or just change in one form or another.

Second Life Parenthood

There are notably many adult or young adult people role-playing children (RL age limit in Second life is 17, or with guardian's approval 13 for G rated places), and it sure has a cute factor especially when they play it well. But what if something happens? After all those kids are not really your kids, they have their own individuality inherited from their RL parents, many things you as SL parent cannot control. What if they decide to stop being a kid, or just walk away on you one day, leaving your broken heart behind?

Prim Babies

There is one fail-proof approach Second Life offers and this is where it gets really cute and cool.

A mommy is shopping with her baby...

Creativity is amazing in this world and creating babies with their AI behavior, movements, actions and reactions is one of the most adorable magic of the grid. We call them Prim Babies.

My dear friend Kailynn has two of those and anytime she brought them to our club while we held a party, those little buggers sure cheered up everyone immediately.  Yes they are simply just lovable crawling around the floor, even playing with their toys.

Zoobyville

So I visited one of these stores. The one I went to, called Zooby. I have no idea what it means but that's the name.

No surprise there I was the only man in the store and some of the ladies already had a baby they were carrying while shopping in the different rooms. One section was filled with these prim babies from several different race and skin tones, the others with furniture, accessories.

The Zooby Baby store in Zoobyville

As I walked around I took a few shots because this was sure a new experience for me. The babies looked as real as they possibly could with the present graphical limits, their sound made of real or very realistic playback and I couldn't help it but smile as I was exploring the place.

Virtual Adoption

Zooby babies looks as real as they can be made in SL

I don't have children in RL and I don't know if I am at all a father material, but living in this virtual world, the opportunity is there to make believe something and live in it. I am married in Second Life and have been thinking of getting one of these little cooing cutenesses to complete our second life perhaps with some more color. Of course this is still a discussion to come with my lovely wife and if it would happen we probably would skip the whole pregnancy game - we'd call it adoption instead, but whether we will get a baby I can certainly suggest everyone a visit to this place just to get a feeling of a virtually artificial mommy/daddy world...

Prim Entertainment Center: Fountain and the Prim Trees

With this article I am starting a series with introducing a place called Prim Entertainment Center. Because of it's various attractions it offers, it's diversified fun opportunities, it takes more than one article to really describe what this place is about.

The Fountain

The first thing you will see as you land following the linked landmark below, is the welcoming spot at the fountain. This is the center of the mall area where you immediately can see everything around you - depending on your draw distance settings of course. Right next to you the teleport signs that can take you to all the different attractions, however you can reach most things just by walking around.

I want to talk about this fountain with recommendation of the creator's genius work and design. I don't know the person, never talked to him. His name is Adham DeCuir and these fountains are not only true art, but also very low priced. I certainly recommend it to everyone who would like to add something watery to their place. I put a shortened link here to the SL Marketplace store you can see all 5 version of his fountains: http://goo.gl/7PPEc

In the middle of the fountain you see the trademark sculpture of this place: Two default prim cubes on each other bearing the dominating colors of blue and gold. With that welcoming you at Prim Entertainment Center you already can feel that you are at a quality place that is somewhat unique comparing to other places.

Prim Trees

Now here is the second thing that might grab your attention. The trees. The trees around you are not anything you are used to in Second Life. Those are Prim trees. Specially made for this place only, simple and descriptive and with the first impression as you arrive you get two important message of this place: pleasing to the eyes and low lag.

Attractive simplicity

If you are looking for a place that is well detailed, almost real life looking, then Prim isn't your spot because this place was made with two basic things in mind: Fun and simple. Simplicity, light use of the textures, scripts, not heavy on prims makes the place enjoyable for everyone even with a weaker computer. Nothing is complicated here.

Personally I like to just sit down on one of the benches here before walking around, but again I have sentimental feelings to the place. Who knows? One day you might have too.
