How to find Friends on Secondlife - Join the SL Friendship Network

SecondLife, like any social network has to deal with the task of making users socialize without interference. The same reason why facebook displays "friends you may know" and twitter suggest interesting people to follow.

When people don't interact on social media, the original goal is defeated and it dies off (like Hi5 did).

Second Life is particularly unique because users don't really need to interact to have fun or achieve their aim for playing but the vast majority have formed strong friendship circles built around role playing groups, night life and fashion.

For the new comers in SL who finally figure out how to play the game, the next challenge usually becomes finding friends on SL, people to hangout with and talk to.
Designated public areas are created just for that but are often deserted or filled with people who are trolling or not engaging in local chat at all.

The Secondlife Friendship Network

On the Secondlife forum, someone posted a topic asking where/how to make friends or just find someone to hangout with just like many others have done previously, but this time the answers given where not tips about chatting up people and favourite hangout spots.

A few residents (Ambie, Rosalyn) went out of their way to Create a Group called "Secondlife Friendship Network" to help anyone looking for new friends, to have fun, and just be sociable!

The SL Friendship Network is not the first group of its kind that has come up with this initiative but the growth and activities show that it's one of the best.

Social events are of all kinds are planned and all interested are invited to join the group and participate. If you have ideas that will help, also reach out to the moderators and share.
Remember, you may engage the group chat in a conversation or invitation to hangout at any time.

How to Join?
Search "SL Friendship Network" in secondlife or just past the group key 6c383c40-6ade-7c24-ad61-7a7b17ffc2cc

SecondLife Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Newbie Guide

In life, things don't always go according to plan or how we expect them to on first attempt.
There are mistakes to be made and lessons to learn from them, there are questions to ask and places to get answers - The same rules apply for Online Games such as Second Life which plugs into reality.

The first time i signed up for an account on 22nd March 2010, downloaded the SecondLife Viewer and logged in, i didn't know much about the game or what to do, places to go - i had lots of questions.

Last night on Second life - The Club Yummy Experience

Flashing Neon lights, Loud Club Music from Live DJ, Extra friendly Hosts, Avatars on the dance floor or strip poles - bursting moves, Drinks, smoke filled air, Dressed to impress, Themed Contests and Sploders to win cash prizes, Tip Jars.

I've pretty much described a typical SecondLife night-out spent clubbing. FYI: It's basically a gathering of people who love good music - pre-recorded or streamed live by a DJ.
I promised to tell tales of my secondlife travels - so here goes the first one.

My Second Life Blog - Introduction

Hello,

Second Life - The best virtual 3d world game Ever! . I've been playing for a while and learning a few things from it, thought i'd open this blog to document my experiences and adventure in this Virtual world.

Maybe my experiences might inspire, educate, or just bring some humor to you.
My Name is Briggs - And I'm a second Life Resident. (Not addict :p )
SL ID: Briggz Portal

So What exactly is Second Life?
Second Life is a 3D world where every avatar you see is represented by a real person and every place you visit is built by people just like you. - Call it a social network if you like, but its pretty much like the Movie "AVATAR" where you sleep and take on another character.
