This chapter discussed community within the second life world. I found this interesting because at the beginning of the year everyone was concerned with where to go to find other avatars so we could do our ethnography and semiotics. As a class we pretty much found out that amusement parks or dance clubs and bars were the place to go to observe second life. I found it interesting how in these busy places there are little orbs you can click on that let you do certain things-for example, in the bars you can click on the orb and it says “dance” and your avatar starts dancing. Once again, the more i read the book themore i realize all of the layers that SL has, people blog about random things as their avatars, there are events that are created so that avatars can go to them and meet eachother and interact.
