One of my friendly librarian colleagues in SL asked if I had a script to generate dialogs and allow users to select notecards handy. I didn’t, so I coded it up. It seems like it could be useful to others, so here you go:
This script is in LSL, for Second Life. Just copy and paste [...]
I’m at SXSW, and I want an ability to see the latest Tweets from the group of Twitterers that I follow who are here in the area. I also have a limited number of text messages on my phone (1500, but still).
I coded up a quick app that allows you to great a group of [...]
Twitter rocks. It’s useful for all kinds of things, but especially for chronicling a live event as it happens, including the pre-event discussion and post-conference wrapup.
We’re very excited to be hosting NewB Camp here in Providence, RI on February 23rd. In preparation for the event, Sara created a NewBCamp Twitter account and I coded up [...]

The first question is: Why does some video [...]

It would be a meta-application that sat on top of other web applications, with all of the functionality of every other program. Most importantly, it would allow a user to have a unified identity [...]
Before virtual worlds can be more widely adopted, I believe that they must be integrated into the “flat” web. We should be able to seamlessly transition between 2d and 3d space, and have our identities and interpersonal connections travel along with us.
The adoption of social networking services by the academic virtual worlds community is a [...]
