Some useful stuff

If like myself you have moved into OpenSim from Second Life, then there is no doubt that you may be finding resources particularly free ones are somewhat thin on the ground and locating them can be time consuming until you locate all those sim and web addresses. So I was really pleased to find a newsletter posting that pointed to a Google Search facility - HyperFind: OpenSim Content Custom Search Engine' At the present time searches include http://www.onikenkon.com/UCI , http://thehypergates.com/, http://www.lindakellie.com/ , http://www.avaverse.org/ ,  http://thoughtfulmonkey.com/ and I image that more will be added as they become available.


Are you using OpenSim as an education tool, then you may well be interetsed in Opensim-edu http://opensim-edu.org/blog/ the site features
How to guides, places to visit, OAR's and websites, well worth a visit


Finally, talking of using virtual worlds for education, I came across this chat log Transcript of March 23 NPC Meetup with Global Kids on "Playing 4 Peace". Apart from the obvious interest in what was was actaully being said and taking place at the meet, there are some very useful web and sim addresses that you may like to follow up on.
