This Weeks Guest: Diana Allendale

Diana Hunter became interested in writing stories with bondage and D/s themes when she found a dearth of them on the web. Nothing she read seemed to have the romantic element she knew was possible in such relationships. Challenged by a friend to write a better one, she wrote her first full-length novel, Secret Submission.

Each book Diana writes contains a kernel of truth or deeply held conviction from her own life, but don't ask her where truth ends and fantasy begins, she'll never tell! When not writing, Diana is either at her loom, weaving thread lines of a different sort, or playing Mommy-taxi to her two teenage children. Married for over twenty-five years to the same man, she is grateful for all the wonderful encouragement he gives her.

This Week's Guest: epredator Potato

Ian Hughes a.k.a epredator when online, is a Metaverse Evangelist. He set about leading a band of like minded individuals and subsequently many thousands of colleagues in IBM into virtual worlds like Second Life in 2006, and beyond. This sparked the massive growth in interest from enterprises and press alike. As a public figure in Web 2.0 and a leading blogger on http://www.eightbar.com he has shown that leadership can be driven by the digital native and innovators can gather together regardless of geography or organization. Cultural and technology changes and new ways to operate across companies is a core theme. In 2008 he received the first industry award for Innovation in Virtual Worlds in the Enterprise . As a digital native his epredator persona spans many Web 2.0 places, blogs, PSN, WoW, Xbox Live, Twitter, Flickr, Linkedin etc. Understanding how to use that presence, still representing himself but with elements of theatre brought about by more creative expression online leads him to no longer be the programmer he grew up as.

Virtual worlds also extend to more than just entertainment or corporate communication. Representing past cultures, existing places, instrumenting the planet, showing business process models in actions the list goes on. Metaverses can also be used to deliver virtual goods, but now making those virtual goods real again is possible. Rapid fabrication and the rise of the fabricaneur heralds another phase in our existence online

A former IBM Consulting IT Specialist who has worked on leading edge emerging technologies for the past 20 years, and now an independent consultant and director of Feeding Edge Ltd. A programmer since he was 14. As a gamer he has seen a massive increase in the capability and design ethics within games and the rise of online gaming. In 1997 Ian started working on all things web, changing his perspective on the technology and the business due the much richer mix of people involved in the web revolution. Graphic Designer, Producers and Programmers all having to work together.

As a public speaker he shares his experiences both of the growing virtual worlds industry, the changes in culture, personal experiences of challenging the status quo and leading through doing.

He is chairman of the British Computer Society Animation and Games Specialist Group. Promoting the games industry and associated technology within the BCs but also reaching out to the games industry to help provide professional recognition to the development community.

This Week's Guest: Se7en Wirsing

Bio of Se7en Wirsing

I first rezzed in February of 2009. Within a few weeks, I started blogging about my experiences in Second
Life. I got my first SL writing job working for Second Chick, a now defunct women's blog. My editor, Zillow
Dejavu, taught me about taking photos in SL. Since then, I have written and photographed for Role
Magazine, OI Magazine, Siren Magazine and Help People Island blog. At the moment, I write for Press
Pass Media and write and edit for AFK Magazine, as well as my own blogs Savoy Cabbage Journeys and
2nd Journal.

I have always wanted to write in real life and, finally, all my SL writing has inspired me to begin a novel on
Textnovel. I also write poetry and short stories. My other interests are Autism/Asperger's Syndrome and
art and, in SL, writing about business, the arts and people.

Why Second Life for marketing?

I was recently asked the question:

What problems with real life marketing are solved by using Second Life?

My response was:

This question could be easily answered with these questions:

• What problems with real life marketing are solved by using email newsletters?
• What problems with real life marketing are solved by using a web site?
• What problems with real life marketing are solved by using an online press room?

Offline or "real life" marketing has many limitations that have been clearly revealed over the last 15 years since the advent of online marketing. And what have we learned?

Online marketing provides us with:

1. exponentially greater reach
2. more efficient processes
3. time/money savers (when leveraged well)
4. cross timezone/cross geography (eliminate barriers of location)
5. more customer touchpoints

So it stands to reason, that executed well, Second Life marketing provides:

1. exponentially greater reach
2. more efficient processes
3. time/money savers (when leveraged well)
4. cross timezone/cross geography (eliminate barriers of location)
5. more customer touchpoints

We don't think of real life marketing that we do as "solving problems" although it could be construed that way. You could say marketing solves the problems of lack of awareness, a weak brand, lack of customers, etc. - it addresses a "lack" to get a "gain" such as brand awareness, sales (or donations), customer service (or serving a constituency), etc.

Why would we frame a question about marketing in Second Life as needing to solve a problem? You can also say that marketing in Second Life does address the problems of lack of awareness, a weak brand, lack of customers, etc. - it addresses a "lack" to get a "gain" such as brand awareness, sales (or donations), customer service (or serving a constituency), etc.

But marketing in general - regardless of the platform - isn't really solving problems but enhancing things, right?

Pitting Second Life against "real life marketing" doesn't make sense. Instead, simply look at Second Life as another tool in a strategic, effective and efficient marketing toolkit.

How are YOU using Second Life to market?
