Millions of Us give away land: SL Blogland?
July 27, 2007 4:37 pmAll the talks about SL Blogland up to now? Maybe this is not such a bad solution: Millions of Us is supplying land on eight sims (Past, Present, Future, Tunes, Biz, Film, Style and Playground) for those with interesting ideas. SL Bloggers, maybe we can put together some good ideas, and try for some land to experiment with importing RSS into Second Life, Flickr API’s, in-world browsers like the SLbrowser, … .
Let’s put our heads avatars and RSS feeds together and come up with a cunning proposal and get ourself an in-world SL Bloggers headquarters? Zoe? Veyron? Dinee? DesertWolf? Bella? Dalien? Kris? Myg? Wrath? Tiana? Shockwave? Timothy? Nadine? Loki? Dolmere? Tobie? Chloe? …? Anybody thinks this is a good idea?
From the Millions of Us blog:
Social media is all about participation, right? In that spirit, Millions of Us will be opening up land on several of its sims in order to host the coolest projects you can come up with. We own 8 perimeter sims, clustered around the central eponymous sim — and that’s where we invite interested and motivated residents to help us fill those sims with fantastic Second Life content.
Each sim has a thematic name, clockwise from left are Past, Present, Future, Tunes, Biz, Film, Style and Playground. What we’re looking for:
- A proposal from a single person or a team which fits the theme of a perimeter sim
- The proposal should detail the concept, a timeline for building and construction and promotional plans
- The proposal should be a concept that generally benefits the Second Life community, but commercial projects with content and items for sale are OK — if you sell things on our land, you can keep the money.
- Your project should provide an idea of how you might continue with your concept beyond an initial build. It is critical that your proposal include ongoing programming as opposed to a one-off build.
- Proposals should be emailed to celebrity@millionsofus.com
- There’s no hard deadline for submissions — we will continue to evaluate ideas as they are proposed to us and we have space available to house the project.
What you get:
- An appropriately sized land parcel at absolutely no cost to you for a 3 month term, renewable at our discretion for up to 12 months.Typically we expect each parcel will be approximately 4000 square meters. But if your idea needs 10,000 square meters, we’re still willing to consider the idea. Don’t be afraid to think boldly. We love vision and boldness.

/me thinks that is a good idea!
yeah Vint, it’s a good idea! we should get on it. Zoe?
I’d definitely be up for helping out with a blogger-related project for this!
I’m all for it and I think we already had some brilliant ideas for the Blogland (as mentioned above), so let’s try it. Only problem is that somebody will have to be the one coordinating all this and file an application …. any volunteers?
Better to apply as a group, I think. We need a meeting ASAP.
Chloe has a concept for her land that she wants to do. She would most likely be interested in this!
So we meet in-world? I think we should do this as a group. Or does anybody - Chloe for instance - wants to give this a shot individually?
i think this is a good idea, i think it would be better as a group so we can put all of your skills together. maybe we can use the blogpile land group that was created for the other blogpile land idea that was scraped to send out a notice for a reunion.
Group. definitely. Will be a little bit of a hell to manage, but diversity of skills should help.
I love the idea! A SLBloggers headquarters building.. a place for us to meet, have discussions/business and show the rest of the SL world who and what we are about with displays. I cannot see a proposal of this sort being turned down.
Yes.. a discussion meeting should be organized VERY soon.
SL Bloggers HQ is in the works folks, I already have the building. Land is forthcoming
This is priority number one for our next meeting. Can someone whip up a proposal to send?
Sound like a good Idea, but what *giggle* What does we need to be don’t so it’s not just an emapty house most of the time?
Hola! My name is Osuntomi Melendez in-world, sungoddess on the web and ndelamiko lord in real life.
I love this idea. What can I do to help?
Well, there is still nothing ‘finished’ as a plan, so join the in-world Second Life Bloggers group to be kept posted.
