Moar Groupz: Torrid want!!1!

It’s definitely time for more group slots again. (But – as you can see, /me has already a bonus (see bottom of pic).^^)

Orange have an interesting way to get along with the situation: If you are interested in their event news, you click on a panel. Seconds later you receive a friend request of a Avatar called “EventReminder OrangeGroup”. This happens to be a bot, that sends you IMs on the events, just as the name says. I’m just in the process of building such a thing for our own portfolio, justincase. But nontheless, this is just a cheap surrogate: Forming groups in SL is a higly social process, you don’t just want to receive and chat, otherwise, we could all just subscribe to an RSS feed or mailing list. It’s vital that you can see who’s in that group with you, or peek into some Avie’s profile and see his group list. The whole “Oh hai, you too?/Love your grouplist!” thing called Web2.0(tm)….

Yes, I should really rather post the list of groups I had to leave in the past, than my current selection. There’s nothing more heart-breaking than telling someone “Hey, I really love being in your Friend Group, but I have to dump that, because there are new jobs to be done…” Or wait, how about: “This Avatar is full. Please send your future requests to Builder0815 Primforge.”

Nay! It’s me, Torrid.
