Second life seems to be everywhere, and critics start to develop stronger voices. Last night one of them could be heard and seen on the German television SAT1. Planetopia introduced Second Life and stated that there is many a 3-d computer game a lot better done than Second Life by Lindan Lab, California.
This morning I read about China jumping on the second life hype. But they seem to do better. At least like this the rumor goes. It is called HiPiHi
Netanel Jacobsson CEO and owner from Mash Up Media says and I myself made the same experience: »I
always felt like Second Life was too geeky and to inaccessible, and
therefore had only signed in a couple of times and flied around out of
boredom.«
»Not so,« he says, »at HiPiHi, the Chinese Second Life. They have been smart enough to realize that most of us deadly are not geeks and need a more user-friendly user – interface. The user is offered a bunch of pre-fabricated avatars,
buildings, hills, rocks, objects and event water to furnish their own
worlds. Should they feel for it later, the user can always customize or
create any object from scratch as they see fit.«
HiPiHi is based on traditional Chinese creational mythology. Bietsmilch.com is curious to observe how these Second Lifes are going to develop. Or whether they will silently disappear one day, because its users fell asleep.
This was enough of SL on our biest-blog. I return to RL (real life) now. Be most welcome 😉
