I came across metaHUD, a Social Search Engine for Second Life which allows:

• posting interesting places for everybody to see
• searching for places posted by others
• managing your favorite places
• searching for items that are for sale and buying items instantly
• rating, tagging and commenting on places or items and
• selling your own creations, designs, gadgets, builds

Want extreme customisation? Go to Reebock’s island where according to Rivers Run Red avatars can live and experience the whole co-design process, using their virtual trainers to extend and express themselves just as in the real world, and experimenting with possibilities they might not have considered.

You first purchase a box for L$50, which contains a pair of DJII shoes that are ready to be customised. These come in 3 sizes to choose among. Once you puts them on the shoes can be customised by standing in front of a booth that provides the interface to colour each of the 12 shoe sections using the 17 available colours. When you are satisfied with the design, this can be transferred to the shoes for L$5. Now, would it be nice to be able to do this in the shop? Any shop with any type of product!

Check out a promo for the forthcoming episode of CSI: New York. CBS plans to offer a range of interesting activities for fans!

IBM and Linden Labs are working on a project to allow avatars to move from one world to another. This is a step towards integration of metaverses which will potentially increase their potential and value! For more information please click here.

With Vodafone InsideOut you can text friends to meet you on your favourite island before you log-in, or make and receive real voice calls from wherever you like in Second Life. An excellent example of how technologies can cross spaces!
