Second Life: hype or business model?
After my first 2 month in Second Life, I want to give you another report if it could be a business model or if it is just a big waste of time.
First of all: I found some useful usages for SL so far.

About qdnow.com podcasts
Today I talk about a single website that contains a bunch of useful podcasts for you to listen to. Usually I tell you about a specific genre in this webtutor podcast, but I found that I have subscribed to almost all of the podcasts from this particular site, so that I think I can make an exception here.

This is just a live talk about Second Life. Unfortunately I did not have any callers. So it's basically just a quick summary of my Second Life experience so far.

Learning in the virtrual World of Second Life

Find the MP3-File for download here.

blip.tv (can share Video and Audio files)
LiveVideo.com
Revver.com
Viddler.com

Later on we talked about another interesting site:
twitter.com (Sharing instant messages)
I will consider a separate talk about twitter later.
How many lifes do you have?
Ok, I have to admit: I just got an account for SecondLife a few days ago. As web-developer and web-tutor, I have to know about this technology (it's always good to have an excuse for playing on the computer).
The Question is: what can you do in SecondLife? Is it just another computer game? No, it is not. It's a virtual world. For Star-Trek fans it's a technology that comes very close to the "Holo-Deck" of Starship Enterprise (the Next Generation, not Kirk's Enterprise).

Podcasts for Teachers
Today I want to recommend some more podcasts that are dedicated to learning and education. The reason for this is, that I am currently having an online course "Podcasting for Teachers" at knowschools.ca for a group of K-12 Teachers, so this might be useful for them too.

Find strange Names for your web 2.0 project
This is a link that I found in one of the German blogs that I read. It's a name generator to invent cryptic names for your web 2.0 project. Now you know, where names like flickr or zoho come from ;-)
What's really cool with this site: it can also check if the generated name is still available as domain name.

How to use Video in Education
Just found this blog entry about "Five ways you could use Video in Education".
Some really useful recommendations how you can use video in educational context.
Using Life-Events on the Internet
As you might know, this podcast is dedicated to Internet stuff, especially web 2.0 websites and services. I did not offer my HTML video tutorials since November 2006 but I will produce some more of these in the near future. In the meanwhile I got distracted by all these life tools that you can use to talk to people in real time.

One Laptop per child, now also for adults
I really like the idea from Nicolas Negroponte to produce low-price laptops for the developing world.
Now it seems to be possible to get these laptops as a normal customer. The only condition: you have to buy 2 and get 1 for yourself, the other one will go to the developing world.
I like this idea.

Listen to the Webtutor Podcast
I already have started a podcast on Rent-a-Tutor.com which is called "Webtutor Podcast". I'm still not sure where to host the MP3-files finally. I already upload them to odeo.com and blip.tv but maybe I will switch to another host soon. Odeo and blip.tv are free services and I wanted to try them out, just in case that I need to recommend something for my readers/listeners if they want to try out podcasting without spending money.
So you can download my last podcast-episode from 2006 here from blip.tv or here from odeo.
I just tell about my new iPod Shuffle and how I use it for learning.
