BlogHer ‘07 in Second Life: Vint speaking
July 18, 2007 1:37 pm 
The BlogHer conference 2007 will for the first time have a BlogHer 07 extension / sister conference in Second Life. All of you - female and male - avatars are invited, but they do require you - don’t be scared, it’s free - to register in advance.
Vint speaking?
Together with TheDivaRockin - y’all know her, right? - and Koz Farina - who fathered the blogHUD - I’ll be in the ‘Combining blogging and Second Life‘ panel moderated by Erin Vest also known as the Queen of Spain:
More and more bloggers are entering this virtual world to connect with community, chronicle their second life, and gain more readers. Residents are leaping out of their comments and into avatars to have full blown discussions on their blog topics in real time. How does blogging and second life interact and what’s next? Discussion moderated by BlogHer in Second Life hostess Erin Kotecki Vest who has used Second Life as an extension of Queen of Spain Blog, with panelists Vint Falken - who blogs about Second Life, Second Life podcaster and blogger TheDivaRockin and Koz Farina, the creator of the second life blogHUD, which allows you to blog directly from Second Life. (Start: Friday, July 27th - 10.45pm CST / Saturday, July 28th - 3.35am GMT / Saturday, July 28th 5.35am CET … which is my time… *pfffff*)
Exclusive for Second Life
Other neat blog and Second Life concerned subjects exclusively for the SL part of the BlogHer conference:
- Covering a virtual world. - News media coverage is everywhere in Second Life Magazines, newspapers, tv news-is it to be taken seriously? What are the challenges of covering a virtual world? Is this the “new” media and how might it relate to the real world of journalism? Journalism professor and BlogHer editor Kim Pearson moderates a discussion between Second Life newsies including SL News Network’s Cybergrrl Oh and others!
- Candidates in SL-good, bad, indifferent? - Many political parties, politicians, and ’08 presidential campaigns are setting up shop in Second Life, does it make a difference? Are voters being reached and do the REAL LIFE campaigns care? Panelists include Sarah Granger, who pioneered Internet Strategy for former Senator Gary Hart’s Presidential exploratory organization in 2004 and launched his blog, known by many at the time as the “first true weblog to be put up by a politician.” Padlurowncanoe Dibou, founder of Hillary ’08 in Second Life and others to be announced! Let’s find out if these campaigns are working or just causing bad press!
- Second Life, Real Business-brilliant or bust? - Bloggers and major corporations are making waves in Second Life. Some are even making real money from virtual transactions-can you do it too? How creative do you have to be and how do you get in on this new industry? Are major companies just wasting their time or is there real business being done? Moderated by branding expert Nina Burokas our panel is filled with SL business mavens including Jeanette Gibson, Cisco System’s lead in new media communications and Linda Zimmer from MarCom:Interactive, Jody Devere aka Patty Streeter of AskPatty.com, and blogger and SL small business owner Daisy Beauchamp!
