Social Media

I’m kind of a social media junkie, whenever I see a shiny new social media site, I feel I must join. I even have an About.me page setup for myself.

Here’s a list of social media sites I am a part of and use most often:

1. Second Life Social Profiles – The SL Social Profiles have officially launched and so far I am loving it! Feel free to friend me, I am open to adding people to my friend list so I can interact with them more on there (just please don’t send me random TPs, I am often naked and I might click accept by accident :P). I will be sharing my blog posts and answering any questions you guys leave for me on my page! Let’s get social! :D
2. Flickr – I’ve been a flickr user since August of 2007. It’s where I love to share my feelings and fashion translated into photography and art. Whenever I share an image on flickr that I have also used in a blog post, I always put a link to the corresponding blog post in the description so people can look up all my style credits.
3. Plurk – I’ve been on plurk since September of 2008 and use it mostly to interact with other SLers. I’m quite goofy on there and sometimes embarrass myself. lol I also use plurk for promotional purposes and share my art, my blog posts and other events, sales and notices that catch my attention.
4. Twitter – Although I joined Twitter on September 23rd 2008, I didn’t actually start using it regularly till 2011. Now I can’t seem to get enough. I use it to share quotes from my tumblr page, posts from my blog, flirt with celebrities, connect with Empire Avenue players and learn more about Social Media. Twitter is a great informative resource for me and I tend to follow not only my friends on there, but other RL bloggers that I love to read.
5. Facebook – I used to have a facebook profile for over 3 years until one day facebook suddenly disabled it. Now the only thing I have is this facebook page. If you are on facebook and also a fan of my blog, I would appreciate a “like” I share all of my blog posts on there, including the ones here and on my tumblr. I also share news and events that I feel like sharing from around the grid.
6. Google Plus – I received an invite from a friend during the beta stage and have been using plus since June 29th, 2011. I have also created a Google+ Page for my blog now and update it each time I post.
7. Empire Avenue – I’ve blogged a tutorial for Empire Avenue a while back when I first joined which you may find helpful. I thoroughly enjoy EA and all the people I’ve met through it. It’s a great place to interact and make some connections.
8. Youtube – I upload all of my video tutorials there and listen to other youtubers, watch a lot of tutorials, favorite a lot of videos, etc…
9. Tumblr – I’ve always been a very big quote collector. I love to read and collect inspirational quotes that motivate me to improve my quality of life. My tumblr is not as pretty or exciting as most tumblrs out there, but I do use it to share these wonderful quotes that I have collected over the years.

Here’s a list of social media sites that are only for Second Life residents:

1. Second Life Community Forums – These are the official SL forums that I sometimes participate in.
2. Koinup – Similar to flickr, it is a photo sharing site but is more geared towards virtual worlds.
3. 2ndhub -You need to be an SL resident, login, tp to a slurl and register your av in order to even use the site. It’s brilliantly done actually and a great place to market your SL brand.
4. Second Nights – Specifically geared to the SL community.
5. SLUniverse – Specifically geared to the SL community.
6. 2ndShare – Specifically geared to the SL community.
7. Second Friends – Specifically geared to the SL community.
8. Moolto – Specifically geared to the SL community.
9. Second Life Wiki – It doesn’t really have that much information on it and I’m not sure if many residents actually create and/or use these wiki pages.

Here’s a list of other social media sites I am a part of but don’t use on a regular basis:

1. Formspring – More of a place to ask me questions anonymously and I can actually reply. Unlike my anonymous feedback page where you can tell me how much I suck and I can’t really do anything about it. :P
2. LinkedIn – Doesn’t everyone have one by now? Perhaps not for your avatar but at least for the real world, you should get on it.
3. deviantART – An online community showcasing various forms of user-made artwork.
4. blip.fm – Blip.fm is internet radio made social.
5. Last.fm – Last.fm is a music website which builds a detailed profile of each user’s musical taste by recording details of the songs the user listens to.

Other links I’d like to share:

1. Berrylicious Inworld Group – Not really a social media site, but an inworld group. This group is just an extension of my blog which I utilize to share information about my blog posts and also different sales and events occuring across the grid that catch my interest.
2. My Meta Avatar – Another SL resident created this meta avatar page for me which is quite fun and hilarious. I blogged about it here if you’d like more information about it.
3. Klout – Klout is a social media tool that measures influence across the Web, specifically your Twitter ranking.
4. Technorati – Technorati is an Internet search engine for searching blogs.
5. Gravatar – Gravatar is a service for providing globally-unique avatars.
6. Alexa – Would you like to write a review for StrawberrySingh.com on Alexa? You can also download the StrawberrySingh.com toolbar.
