HiPiHi reopens beta
Massively
Apr 19th 2008 8:17PM There's been an English registration page for a good while, since at least October of 2007. I wrote about it back then.
Good to see you tried Hipihi.
There are instructions at my blog's Hipihi page that might help setting up the language requirements for some, at http://suezannecbaskerville.wordpress.com/hipihi/.
It is possible to get the interface to be partially translated into Chinese.

Oct 30th 2007 11:11AM I want something that will automatically keep track of every post I make in forums, every comment I make, such as this one, every time I send information by clicking a submit button or send email by clicking on a button or link in a web page.
Guess what will get you banned...

Linden Lab announces new policy on gambling, wagering

HiPiHi's Tough Road
Second Life Insider
Jul 26th 2007 1:01AM I'm enjoying my visits in the Hipihi world.
The interface is actually a bit awkward, owing to it being harder to move the camera while building compared to Second Life's building system. There'a a lot of packet loss. I think there needs to be some work on the internet connections if it's to work well for those in my part of the world, which is quite far from Beijing.
The align x, align x, align z, and align all options in the Hipihi build editor are very nice; it's a shame LL has never implemented these functions despite despite numberous requests.
I suspect Hipihi will do fine. The Project Entropia virtual world and uWorld might be more competion on the home front than Second Life.
Anyone looking to try Hipihi might want to take a look at the IdeaShape Forums at www.ideashape.cn . There's some info at my blog as well.
Folks with access to the Second Life forum are welcome to discuss Hipihi in my group forum in the Second Life forum, the forum named SuezanneC Baskerville.
Boston Goes Virtual; Expect Tea Party Griefing
Second Life Insider
Jul 22nd 2007 4:05PM The Boston statists should consider not spending their stolen money in such a frivolous way, finding a way to return that money to the people that earned it, quit the government, get an honest job, and pay for their own video games.
Just Askin' - the value of social networking tools
Second Life Insider
Jul 19th 2007 12:44AM I think some people use them as a way to chat with people they already know. Others use them to make friends, reading other's comments and posts and responding to them, in some cases establishing a friendship or at least a pleasant sequence of message exchanges. I'd wager that a good many folks sit down with some alcohol and or other drugs in front of myspace or facebook, etc. and end up laughing their butts off.
I find some of the social network sites quite hard to use. On my Ning site, I can't find where to change the phrase "Second Life Avatar" .
Get your Second Life live on your cellphone

Mar 4th 2007 1:27AM I wonder if there is any connection between this sort of development and the impending addition of voice to Second Life?
Will one be able to use their cellphone to talk with voice enabled avatars in SL?
More Virtual Charity
Second Life Insider
Nov 25th 2006 3:21AM I wonder if the profits from SL sales are being reported to the tax folks.
Regardless, if there was an tax reduction possible by claiming a donation, the amount saved on taxes could have been donated to the charity as well, instead of being left in the hands of the government.
