"TASK OPTION - Other chat options:MSN, YahooChat, SecondLife or imvu (sign up is laborious in Second life but the dedicated can give it a try )
imvu is a virtual chat space and fast to start, download and learn. MSN and Yahoo chat both are text based systems which are very easy to implement and learn.
Please do not purchase an account from any site for the benefit of this unit - all virtual sites have guest account systems for non paying customers - please use that for now.
For any of these options you choose Arrange with other students in the unit to meet up for a chat Record your answer and reflections in your learning log
LOG ENTRY: Record your outcome and reflections of your experiences and thoughts on this task in your learning log" (Allen, M n.d)
I have ICQ on my pc, and have done ever since I started using the net 15 years ago. I used it both at home and as part of my work day. It was an essential inter office communication tool. Back in the dial up days my mum used it on her pc to contact me when I was online.
I've never chatted in a virtual world, so I headed off to second life where without any trouble I created an account, activated it and then downloaded the viewer. I'm now well on my way to neglecting the kids while I dress up my avatar. Unfortunately it wasn't as initially user friendly as I had hoped and I quickly lost interest - actually I got stuck in a room and couldn't get out! Then while trying to get out I lost myself . Perhaps if I was more into chatting I'd be more inclined to stick around and try and work it out.
I thought I'd give IMVU a go while I was here, I registered & it seems a lot quicker that secondlife at this stage, I downloaded and installed and realised that IMVU is much easier to navigate. I was chatted up by an apparent employee of the Saudi Arabia ministry of agricultur only to be abandonded when he realised my age and marital status . I also really liked the design of IMVU over secondlife.

Took a little to find everyone, then I found it confusing in regards to who was talking (and some times about what). I think I still prefer ICQ and one on one chats.
Interesting task!
