I'm excited to tell you about this Facebook Webinar as I love joining the fan pages of NGOs to keep tabs on their news and how I can help them. If you're a part of the Nonprofit Commons community, we have many upcoming opportunities for you to help us with greeting at one of these webinars, so let me know if you are interested by contacting nonprofitcommons(at)techsoup(dot)org! If you aren't yet, then feel free to join the Techsoup.org group in Second Life.

In Praise of Interoperability: Facebook finally goes to SecondLife


After the Virtual Worlds conference, the universal mantra seemed to be "we need interoperability!" Well, guess what folks? It has started. Enter Facebook in SL...although the entry in a little awkward (you have to TP in to the Facebook headquarters inworld and then verify yourself and then leave again to complete your profile, which is somewhat limited and doesn't integrate well with your original FB profile), it is still a step in the right direction.

 

Many thanks to Brownrice Internet for hosting the NPSL site.
