Second Life Goes Mobile with Touch Life

Just in time for the holiday, Pocket Metaverse has released "Touch Life". From the Touch Life site: "Pocket Metaverse is the part-time effort of a small band of developers in the San Francisco Bay Area that is based on exploring how virtual worlds can be connected to the mobile world."

Touch Life is a promising new feature-rich Second Life client for the iphone. It's available now from the app store for a mere $2.99 USD and my first impression is that it's a great stocking stuffer, and this one really does *sparkle*.

I don't have the time to write up an in-depth review at the moment, but fortunately Radar Musakami has done a really nice review over on his blog, so have a look.

What's Phasing Grace?

"All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire." ~Aristotle

We are in the age of a new renaissance - enabled by technology and driven by a collision of creativity, intellect and passion on the highway of social media. In the wake of web-two-dot-oh, it's time for thoughtful insights into those things that shape our Social Architecture moving forward. This blog takes a look at what we might learn from virtual worlds toward that end. We can ramble down the road mindlessly, or we can walk deliberately - I prefer the latter. I'm Grace McDunnough and these are my thoughts along the journey.
