Second Life meets FaceBook

I found and installed a brand new Facebook (FB) application that generates Second Life information into FB account profile. It will automatically update FB user's Second Life status so that FB friends can see if the user is online or not. User can also easily share favorite virtual destinations and of course display the SL-avatar to the FB-friends.

The application can be installed into Facebook from this link:
http://apps.facebook.com/second-life

It is still in beta version but it worked fine in my FB site:

Using the Animation Balls

I got some fun this morning trying several animation balls, those balls in the Second Life, that makes your avatar moving and doing almost anything. First you need a find one, then sit down on it and just enjoy the show.

So I teleported myself into the Muse Isle, where I could amuse myself as an artist (painter animation) and do some some tricks with the slay pottery. I flew on the top of the hill and found a vehicle that transports avatars high in the sky and drops down in free fall...luckily I got the free parachute with me...and remembered to wear it at the first place. Believe me or not it was really fun to sky dive! Finally I teleported to the Stanford University Libraries where I took a steam train tour around the sim. Do we need the amusement parks anymore?
