Today I came across an article by former SL critic, Chris Abraham, commenting about how SL is now all grown up and doing business. I commented there in response to his piece, however it got me thinking. If SL is only accessible via "the people you know" to guide you, then how and why did so many of us stay? And how, if at all, is this website helpful to the SL Community at large?

There are so many times when I'm slammed with IMs and notecards telling me about a place that I "MUST" check out, however not all the places make it into SL Things to Do because I'm either, a) too slammed with IMs and notecards, b) working on a LM of the Day, c) working in my first life; mostly answer "c"! That's why this post is going to be dedicated to readers' choice. The only thing you have to do is reply via a comment. When you're suggesting a place, you can make it a lengthy reply and tell about the place in detail with pictures, or just be brief and tell what the place is. One thing you must do is post the SLurl and tell the name, why it's your favorite, and the type of sim (PG, Mature, Adult). While you're welcome to self-promote, I'd like you to be mindful of the fact that we have quite a broad audience, and the sole purpose of this is to prove to the Second Life naysayers that there is content worth seeing, and a community surrounding said content. 

So here are the steps to post your favorite LM of the Day or place we *MUST* see in Second Life.

1. Click Add new comment at the bottom of this post--you must be a member of this site to comment--it's a few short steps and worth it, as you can rate the LMs, comment, etc. when you're a member.
2. Write a minimum of the name of your favorite place, the SLurl, why it's your favorite, and what type of sim (PG,Mature, Adult) or write a full description of the place and include pictures.
3. Click "preview" and "post" to have your content appear! And you're done!
