Finding+Stuff+in+World

=Finding Stuff in World=

via SLED List I find for the most part that - other than doing keyword searches using the in-world search tool - the way I find out about what's on SL is a long-term process that results from the following:

- By joining in-world groups such as 'Real Life Education in Second Life' and those based on other topics of interest so that I receive notices about places and events.

- Checking peoples picks in their profiles.

- Subscribing to SL blogs, including:
