Sean Reiser
Church Service in Second Life
April 7th, 2008 Another post that I don't know where it belongs ... if this keeps up I'm going to merge the blogs and go with filters. When I started this journey I was trying to keep potential clients from finding the religious blog and religious folks from finding my geeky side and run the religious blog anonymously. Well I have given up on that... my geeky side shows though and I seem to be commenting on things that in both camps....
Virtually attended a service in second life last evening (here is some info about the church) which one of my tweeps (twitter peeps) mentioned to me. I really don't know how I feel about it. I've never been a second life fan (some day I'll write that up). Actually I've never gotten it, to be honest.. the couple of times I've played in SL it doesn't seem to have the sense of community that I've found in things like IRC, on forums or even twitter.
So, the service felt artificial. It could be that there was no audio to it (it was read and typed). It could be some of the issues I sited in this article. It could also be the tendancy I have to multitask while in front of a machine. Going to service, watching TV and twittering should not happen at the same time.
Oh, I'm curious is what is the etiquette on leaving Church in 2L... is it OK to fly?
