Second Life - How Hard Can It Be? (TechSoup)

Posted Tue, 04/14/2009 - 06:13 by Beth J. Bates

TechSoup posted a great discussion about the difficulty of getting started in Second Life, not only as an organization but simply as an individual trying to find their way. I personally think that there is a pretty extensive learning curve between getting an account and actually doing something productive in SL. It took me quite a while to figure out what I wanted to do after a considerable amount of wandering around...and I'm still not sure what I'm doing. Share your thoughts here or at TechSoup!
