SL Residents Uniting In Avatars United

This past week, many Second Life residents suddenly started creating accounts in Avatars United which is a Social Networking Website for Avatars. After the announcement of Linden Lab’s acquisition of Avatars United, Second Life residents, like Lemmings, started joining in.

I first joined Avatars United in 2008 but never really did anything in it except add a few Avatars from various MMORPGs and posted a couple of blog entries. In fact, if it wasn’t for Linden Lab’s acquisition and announcement then I would have totally forgotten that a Social Networking Website named Avatars United exist specially now that I’ve rediscovered Facebook.

As a Social Networking Website, Avatars United lacks many features found in other more popular Social Networking Websites like Facebook and Friendster but one feature that I like that is not in Facebook or Friendster is the ability to create Avatar Profile pages for all your avatars in Second Life or characters in other worlds. This feature eliminates the need to register multiple accounts specially for those who have many avatars. In Avatars United, you can create and manage all your avatars profile with just one account.

As of this posting, there are 6,234 Second Life Avatars registered in Avatars United (see picture below) and if you are running a business in Second Life then those numbers could mean potential customers, clients or buyers for your business. By the way, those numbers are still going up every hour and with Facebook deleting hundreds of Second Life avatar accounts everyday, I’m sure that more and more Second Life residents will be joining Avatars United.

6,234 Avatars and Counting

Right now, I’m just trying to Unite with as many Second Life Avatars that I can in Avatars United. Before, I was only planning on uniting with residents I know but I changed my mind after thinking about the opportunities I would gain in connecting with everyone. It’s the same with Twitter, the more followers you have, the more people you can market your ideas, thoughts, services and products to.

Don’t think of Avatars United as just another Social Networking Website to waste your time in playing games, etc. Think of it as another gold mine of opportunities just waiting to be exploited, errr…, used for your own benefit.
