    by students which was last updated in 2005.

Advertising in Second Life and Virtual Worlds

 

Second Life is a well known virtual environment in which people create 3D avatars as representations of themselves, build structures and objects, and socialize. Virtual worlds like Second Life are new frontiers. Second Life has a flourishing economy and hundreds of thousand of users doing everything from teaching and taking university courses to shopping at virtual American Apparel and Nike to running a night club. In the future, virtual environments may become a substantial part of our online existence and perhaps a viable space of advertising.

There is no cost to you to go to Second Life and create an account and avatar. You will have to download a rather large client program that you run on your own computer when you log in. If you want to experience this environment directly, be advised that Second Life generally requires a graphics card which is only found on computers less that two years old and broadband.

The completion of this assignment DOES NOT require that you enter the virtual world, "play the game, or experience the "metaverse."

Additional insights about Second LIfe can be found without playing the game by searching youTube. For example, http://youtube.com/watch?v=8NOHRJB9uyI

Linden Labs, the company that owns Second Life, makes money by selling virtual real estate and services like uploading your own media for display. It's a big and complex environment. . There are "griefers" who can pull pranks on the unsuspecting. There are certain regions which allow weapons much like a video games which can be use to "blast other residents. There are many "mature" areas in which there may be avatar without any clothing and the where simulation of sexual activities may be open and graphic ("cartoon sex"-"beep-beep" :))

However, for the most part, the people you meet in Second Life are helpful and eager to assist you in finding your way. everyone in the Second Life world had to go through the same learning process. Devote a couple of hours, at least, to exploring. You can't do it in ten-minute bursts. Create an avatar and try to customize it. Use the search facility to explore the virtual world. Learn to walk, fly, and move your "camera" -- your point of view. Hint -- pointing at objects and control-clicking (command-clicking on Macs) on the object often reveals a menu. Try the "touch" and "edit" options on one of the pie-chart menus that appear.
 

The resources below can be helpful.

Resources:

Please feel free to visit Second Life if you have the desire and the graphics capability on your machine and share with us your personal observations about the possibilities of this virtual world as a medium for advertising. However, the resources, furnished below will enable you to complete this assignment without any participation in the virtual world. In you want a general overview of what Second Life is all about, I would recommend "googling" secondlife.ppt in order to find a PowerPoint presentation which furnishes an overview/orientation, or by going to YouTube or Google Video and finding a video clip which furnishes an orientation or brief glimpse of the nature of this particular virtual world.

 

Requirements:

Navigate and Read:

http://www.kaschassociates.com/49101web/2008SecondLifeMasterPromisePeril.htm
 

This is an "group essay" written by a previous 491 class. It is pretty much an "average bear" effort, but will furnish a starting point for our purposes.

Your task is write two 250 word essays. Each essay should answer or focus on only one of the following questions.

1) What are the promises of advertising in Second Life? Argue and give reasons why companies and advertisers should consider SL and other virtual worlds as a medium for advertising?

2) What are the perils and challenges for companies considering establishing a presence or advertising in SL? Argue and give reasons why companies and advertisers should avoid SL and other virtual worlds as a medium for advertising?

and/o4

3) What are the types of advertising which are used in SL and what are some types of advertising that might potentially be used in SL?
