The Sex Industry In Second Life

Check This Out. You can have virtual sex in Second Life. After going into a few stores, trying to find free clothes, I started to run into women who were either dressed provocatively or women who were nude. These women were everywhere! Shoe stores, hair salons and clubs. The weirdness of it all made me wonder about all the freaky-deaky stuff that goes on in Second Life. After all, in this world, you can be anyone you want and you can do whatever you want. In Second Life, you can be a prostitute or a John. You can be a stripper or a customer. And because actual sex is not being exchanged, it's legal. So, where would one go to find sex in Second Life?

According to this blog, there are many escort services in Second Life. Escort services like these:

What is Web 2.0?

So, what is Web 2.0? To me, it's the new...uhh...Internet?


See, back in the day, users of the World Wide Web were inactive.

We'd stare at the computer like zombies and take in the information. It was a passive experience. One way communication. Back then, you were just able to click on the various links, and those links would led to more links and pages.

But now, users are active! It's the difference between reading the paper and writing the paper yourself. Web 2.0 allows goofballs like me to create their own websites, create and upload audio and video files, to self-publish, share photos and information.

With Web 2.0 you can be heard. You can be seen. You have a voice!

You can start your own blog making fun of celebrities like Perez Hilton.You can become a star by showcasing your singing abilities on Youtube like Justin "Nice Bangs" Beiber or you can Twitpic yourself holding stacks of money like any popular rapper.


It's a social media bonanza!


Just look at some of the popular Web 2.0 applications. There is an application for videos, bookmarking, travelers, students, and music lovers.

 

 How many of these do you use?

What is Knowledge Sharing?

Knowledge sharing is a way in which regular people like me can share what I know (i.e. facts, tips, skills job leads or celebrity gossip) with friends, family, fans of my blogs or people that I encounter on message boards.


One way to make sure that you message is seen is through social networking. Social networking is the practice of expanding the number of one's business and/or social contacts by making connections through individuals.


Another way to spread knowledge is through crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing is the act of outsourcing tasks, traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, to an undefined, large group of people or community through an open call.

Here are ten clever ways that people can choose to share their knowledge, just to show how every aspect of online commerce, research and even human interaction are changing.

Facebook is a social network service that allows users to create a personal profile, add other users as friends and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile. Users may also join common interest groups, organized by workplace, school, or college, or other characteristics.
