SL Entrepreneurs Gather 10/4/2007: Daniel Terdiman Guest-of-Honor
The next SL Entrepreneurs Gather is happening on the first Thursday of October (i.e. October 4th) at noon PT at the OnRez Event Center. We are lucky enough to have Daniel Terdiman join us as a guest-of-honor. Daniel has just finished writing a book on entrepreneurship in Second Life, which should be coming out in early November. During this Gather, we’ll have a chance to ask him questions about his findings and get an early glimpse into his ideas for best practices.
Daniel Terdiman is a senior writer with CNET News.com who has been covering Second Life since 2003, first for Wired and now for CNET. He writes about the culture of technology, with a special focus on virtual worlds. All told, he has been a professional journalist for 12 years, having written and reported for The New York Times, Time magazine, Wired magazine and Wired News, and many others, and he has a master’s degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. His book, “The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Second Life: Making Money in the Metaverse,” will be published in November by Wiley.
Synopsis: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Second Life will give readers an in-depth look at businesses and other economic opportunities in Second Life, explain the business operations of each, and show readers how to identify, develop, launch, and profit from their own business. Daniel has started a blog for the book here.
Because this will be text-based (thus no stream to syndicate), we’ll move the location slightly downhill from the OnRez Event Center to the sim border so that we can fit the audience in two sims instead of just one. The events listing is here.
P.S. if you want to join the in-world group for announcements, it is called “rockin to the future” and is open enrollment.
