  • Social Capital in Second Life Introduction
    Social Capital in Second Life Huvila, I.; Holmberg, K.; Ek, S. & Widén-Wulff, G. Preprint of Huvila, I.; Holmberg, K.; Ek, S. & Widén-Wulff, G. Social Capital in Second Life. Online Information Review, 2010, 34 (3), 295-316. Purpose: Second Life is a user-created online virtual world, which is a place where people with shared interests can meet and be together and share information. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Second Life communities foster and nurture social capital, whether social capital within Second Life is related to social capital outside the virtual world, whether some characteristics affect the likelihood of users having social capital, and whether some existing measure of social capital can be modified and used to study social capital in Second Life. Design/methodology/approach: Study is based on a statistical analysis of data gathered in a web survey of a convenience sample (N=67) of Second Life residents. The social capital measure used was based on Bullen and Onyx, 1998. Findings: Second Life is an environment that fosters the emergence of social capital. Residents, who consider themselves as producers, have higher levels of social capital than those, who consider themselves as non-producers. Having social capital within Second Life is unrelated to having social capital outside the virtual world. Consistency of the instrument proved to be excellent for measuring social capital within Second Life and good outside the virtual world. Research limitations/implications: Small sample size and the composition of the research population limit the possibilities to generalise the findings. Practical implications: Second Life is a potent environment for community building and collective action.

  • Second Life Taskforce Recommendations Item #29 YALSA Board of Directors Meeting ALA Annual Conference, Anaheim June 26 – July 2, 2008
    YALSA Board of Directors – Annual 08 Topic: Second Life Taskforce Recommendations Item #29 YALSA Board of Directors Meeting ALA Annual Conference, Anaheim June 26 – July 2, 2008 Topic: Second Life Taskforce Recommendations Background: At the 2007 Annual meeting the Board voted to establish a taskforce to “explore the possibility of a YALSA presence in Second Life and report back to the YALSA Board of Directors at Midwinter 2008. Issues to explore include: cost, member interest in and use of Second Life, other ALA Division’s (or similar organizations) use of Second Life, possible content and types of participation and relevance to the YALSA mission.” Their final report is provided below. Action Required: Discussion How the Task Force operated to complete the charge: Since the Task Force was not fully formed until November 2007, and the results from the member survey were completed just prior to Midwinter, we were given an extension on the due date of this report. Task Force members met in Second Life and exchanged emails to discuss the work of the group. Then members divided up the responsibilities as outlined in the charge of the Task Force, and agreed to report findings to the group via email or a shared Google Document until the YALSA wiki (http://wikis.ala.org/yalsagroups/index.php/Second_Life) was set up. Results from the findings: Costs: An individual interested in participating in Second Life can register for a basic account at no charge. A basic account does not come with a land plot but has all the basic essentials needed to function in SL (avatar with default clothing).

  • The Low-Cost, Open Source Alternative to Second Life Welcome to Opensim!
    FREE LAND IN OPENSIM the low-cost, open source alternative to Second Life Welcome to OpenSim! Before I get to the free land, let me answer some questions... What is OpenSim? It's like an open source version of Second Life that you can run on your own computer for free. Or you can run it on a server, and create a public grid for everyone to enjoy. Which there are hundreds of. Hey, if it's free, how come OpenSim grids are charging money? The OpenSim software is free, but servers, bandwidth, backups, and tech support all costs money. But because the basic software is free, they are able to save a little – in fact, the average OpenSim region costs about a tenth of what a MetaMaria similar region in Second Life would cost. Maria Korolov But the title says, “Free land.” Hey, wait a minute... Editor & Publisher No, you don't have to set up your own server. It's really free land on an existing HYPERGRIDBUSINESS.COM grid. Though if you do want to run OpenSim yourself, that's what my next guide will be about. So what's the catch? Many grids offer free small residential plots and stores in order to attract residents and merchants. They hope to make money when those users buy currency, or trade up to more land. Other grids have donated capacity that they are wiling to share with the public, or have funding to support educational groups or other special users. 3rd Rock Grid 3RDROCKGRID.COM Residential Offers Size: One parcel Prims: 200 to 250 Duration: Unlimited Eligibility: Active residents Commercial Offers Size: One store Prims: 150 Duration: Unlimited Eligibility: Active residents ● NO HYPERGRID About the grid ● NO REGION EXPORTS ● VIVOX VOICE 3rd Rock Grid is a medium-sized, closed commercial grid known for its sense of ● CURRENCY community and its vibrant music scene.
