I thought this article was interesting, it took me a minute to realize that the article was taking about Serene Jewell in Second Life not real life. I think it ‘s cool that this person organized a charity and nonprofit organizations in Second Life. I do not really see myself keeping up with Second Life after this class is over however I would like to know how someone can make $1 million in real money and have my avatar be on the cover of “BuisnessWeek.”
The Yak-Shak charity is also very cool that people can buy customize their own yak and the money is used to help poor families. This article makes me want to get involved in some SL charity. I just think it is amazing that you can raise money for cancer or poor families or even plant trees in SL and have then be planted in the real word.
I think the best and most interesting topic of this article is that a virtual Relay for Life was organized and raised thousands of dollars. I thik that is amazing especially since I have been actively involved in Relay for Life every year I have been at Fisher. The fact that they can raise all that money virtually is awsome.
