I have decided that I’m not going to wait for Linden Lab to issue brand guidelines for Sansar. I am rebranding the Sansar Newsblog under my own name. (I’ve held the domain name for well over a decade, and this is the perfect place to finally use it!)
All of the old blogposts are still searchable and accessible, and almost all the Sansar-related blogposts have been tagged with the tag “Sansar” to make them easier to find. All the old URLs should still work as before.
Along with the new name comes a new focus. I will no longer be focusing near-exclusively on Sansar in this blog. Instead, I will be expanding my coverage to provide “News and Views on Social VR, Virtual Worlds, and the Metaverse”, as my new blog tagline now states. Platforms covered will include, but not be limited to:
- Sansar
- High Fidelity
- Sinespace
- VRChat
- AltspaceVR
- as well as the brand-new blockchain-based virtual worlds like Decentraland and MARK.SPACE.
Note that I do not plan to write much about Second Life and its many Opensim-based spin-offs; there are already over a thousand avid bloggers who do an excellent job of that! I plan to focus on the newer platforms, especially those that support virtual reality.
I will be closing the Facebook and Google+ groups I created for the Sansar Newsblog, and creating new groups for this rebranded blog.
Good to see you back Ryan. I wish you well for the new venture!
Thank you!
Ryan,
I applaud this decision to expand your coverage beyond Sansar and under a new name. Through my own investigations and trial use I’ve pretty much dismissed Sansar for my own use right now and was wondering how I could keep up with the state of the other new virtual worlds. You are going to save me a great deal of effort that I don’t have time for any more. Good Luck friend!
