Second Life tutorial – navigating in small spaces

Linden Lab’s Torley Linden has released another useful tutorial, this time on navigating in small spaces. Anything that minimises the camera issues in small spaces for new users is welcome.

Using SLURLS to get around Second Life

Linden Lab’s Torley Linden has created another useful tutorial, this time on using SLURLS to get around Second Life.

It’s a great read for a new Second Life user but I’d also recommend it for more experienced users as I’m regularly confronted with veteran Second Life residents who don’t grasp the wider functionality of SLURLS.

Linden lab have also instigated a ‘Knowledge Base Article of the Week’ post – today’s is about groups and how they are disbanded.
