Second Life Social Network and Second Life Social Experiment: 2nd Life 2.0 - HybridLife.net

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 04, 2007 – SECOND LIFE - Second Life avatars found a new home on http://www.hybridlife.net  a social network to connect Second Life residents and also the hosting platform of a Second Life Social Experiment. Can SL be a testbed for new social models?

http://hybridlife.mypacis.com/ is where first and second life meet. HybridLife.net is also a social experiment open to Second Life residents. Its development team currently refining its variables and point system. From a practical point of view, the social experiment works in this way: a citizen can join a “tribe” (each tribe is made by ten citizens) by paying an entry fee or as a sponsored entrant. The entry/sponsorship fees are pooled together and awarded to winners (an administrative fee is deducted). Also, a share of general sponsorships revenues are offered to winners, to make the prize more attractive.

There are different categories of winners: top individuals, top gild, top tribe, etc. Point are awarded based on decision taken by players (as tribes and individuals) and experiment-specific objects owned by partecipants. Decision are expressed by votes.

Inputs, to make http://hybridlife.mypacis.com/ even more useful as social network and social experiment, are welcome from Second Life  residents, Second Life businesses, research centers, NGOs, media, etc.

HybridLife.net is also working on a free e-book, to serve as a guide to Second Life for both beginners and experience users. A tentative overview of the topics covered has been released, including:
