You can set up a virtual life in the well-known digital world of Second Life. You can then place all kinds of objects in it to create by making good use of the built-in building tools and scripting capabilities. Those who are not very handy with creating objects can also buy them from other players who offer them on, for example, the marketplace of Second Life.

Viewer 2.3 Launches with Display Names

I’m delighted to announce that today we have released Viewer 2.3 as the main Second Life Viewer and the default download for new Residents. This release includes the full launch of Display Names allowing greater self-expression, improved Event Scheduling, Viewer Hints, and many additional performance and usability enhancements. For more information on the new features, see our Viewer 2.3 Beta blog post.

This is just a few short weeks from when the Viewer 2.3 Beta was made available; a big thanks to those Residents that downloaded the beta and provided feedback.

Download the Viewer 2.3 Release today, try it out, and Twitter your thoughts using the #slviewer2 hashtag.And, if want to learn more about Display Names, then there are plenty of places to find information including some excellent videos by Torley. Check out the helpful links below.
