Real Money + Virtual Goods = Freakonomics

11/9/2010

I always think that people who spend real money to buy virtual goods are insane. But these days I found myself spending some linden dollars (virtual money that I buy with real money) to shop. Please don't give me the look, I am not a freak. I can be almost anything in SL for FREE but sometimes I just want to be myself and look like myself (or prettier than myself lol) and that's not free at all.

I once was an outsider in SL economics, and even a skeptic but now am an active participant in this virtual goods buying and selling. Here are my justification:
1. I mostly buy educational tools .....okay okay and apparels to make my avatar look good (LOL).
2. It is a great way to teach my students about virtual economics
3. I don't buy strange stuffs like virtual six packs or virtual baby.

Well road is really great, the design of your website is also cool specially color combination but if there is english translation then your site becomes rock star.

Me as an Advocate

- As an education advocate in my country, Indonesia, I am not as cute as my avatar.

- My writings are both loved and hated by many.

- My volunteer works in underdeveloped schools and community learning centers are cherished and despised.

- I can be good friends with vampires and furries but I cannot be friends with real life griefers who steal the rights of the children to get the education they deserve.

- I often get troubles in RL because of my works and writings. Sometimes I wish I could just teleport those RL griefers to an eternal laggy sim.
