As The Second Life Turns

Far too often as of lately... I will be reading through my Facebook News Feed and there is some kind of drama involving a DJ and a certain SL business owner.

Here is one scenario..... The DJ is an awesome DJ who has been there a long time and brings in a crowd with no complaints. The DJ is the show that keeps the club going and brings in the L. Thats a known fact. Then a dancer gets butt hurt over something and whines to the bossman. This results in the bossman going to the DJ and correcting them. Now regardless of what the situation is between the DJ and dancer, the dancers support the DJ and take care of the DJ and make sure the VIPs are happy. Right? One would think so.

So, should the DJ stay working there? Should the dancer be corrected at all? Should the dancer leave? Whatever the case this equals "bad working environment."

Here is another scenario.... The DJ SUCKS!!!!! They don't bring in any crowd. They don't even bring in their own friends to the venue. The DJ is a leach. They rely on the dancers and the manager to bring in the VIPs for them. The DJ whines about how the club should be run. The DJ is a weirdo creep who does weird things for their own amusement..... in other words, the DJ could be all kinds of bad, who knows right?

So, should the DJ be fired? Should the DJ quit? Whatever the case this equals "bad working environment." Regardless of who the bossman is and what venue it is the only solution to healthily remedy this would be to (snaps my fingers in a "Z" formation) GET THE HELL OUT, realize your self worth, realize SL is a big place and go elsewhere. No need to point fingers or cause more drama.. Just leave the groups and walk away that is if you weren't fired for being the creepazoid DJ with no friends.

"As The SL Turns" there will always be drama on FB to read about. Make some popcorn and enjoy the show. Or, what will you do about your SL? After all, SL is what we make of it not what we want others to make for us right? SL is a beautiful place if you let it be and find where the goodness is. Why settle for mediocre when you can have the world just the way you want it?

IN-WORLD TO OUT: DANCING WITH THE ISSUES BY UZO DAYAFTER

by Uzo Dayafter (Arkad Baxton)

Only in Second Life® can one identity be two. Arkad Baxton makes products. Uzo Dayafter is a DJ. They are both businessmen and the same person. The Prim Entertainment Center is known as the work of Uzo. However, many things here are made by Arkad, who runs AP, the company that is listed on Capital Exchange.

When holding 1,000 products, like AP does, to keep making new ones is important. The business stays interesting. But equally important is to reach a bigger audience. Adding an entertainment center to his business mix helps to sell more products. It builds a supportive community. In every business, the more members, the better. With a huge following, you can sell anything. The long term purpose of both depends on growing a community. Here are some ideas for how to integrate company and community:

Give a Card...

Here is something I have encountered quiet often since I started Second Life. It's a well known fact that people don't really learn things when they start SL, other than changing clothing, appearance, walk, fly, teleport and shop.

I'm not going to start an SL education here, but I think this one function I am writing this article about is probably the most simple and least known "clickery". Either it is for work or networking I hope you will find this effective tool useful.

Not everyone wants to be your friend

Has it ever happen to you that you wanted to "friend" someone just to have them on your list because maybe you are a host, or a DJ, or you just want to get a whole lot of people as a contact for your business, for networking otherwise and they didn't want to accept your offer? Of course it has.

Many people in Second Life, including myself, very selective about who they have on their friend-list. I personally like to have friends only on it. I clear my list about once every month and keep only a selected few. Makes life much simpler and peaceful too.

Give Card...

So how can you have hundreds of people in your contact list without using the friend-list?

Right click on the avatar you want to make contact and from the options select "Give Card..."

It's rather simple. You can always "give a card". That's right, just like in real life, you can hand out name cards. And the good thing about it that when you do that you automatically get one back too from the person. Simple, fast and painless exchange of name cards.

Make your virtual life easier

Where do the cards go? Where else? In your inventory. If you open it you will find a folder named: Calling Cards. All your friends and non-friends, everyone you ever "friended" and "defriended" are listed there and just like any other items in your inventory you can organize them in separate folders by categories like "Work", "Friends", "Hated", "Loved", "Dorks", "Goofs" and so on.

No more "CTRL CLICK" to unselect those you dont want to tp in a mass teleport, save time when you want to share things with certain people only and all together it makes your life easier.

A very simple and effective way to sort your contacts and keep in touch with people in a more organized effective way. Try it and once you are used to it you will never go back.

Have a fun life! :)
