Notes from editor: I want to take Frolic's message one step further. For all of you who have been hurt by recent changes in search rankings or by the economics of the grid, his suggestion of changing something to make your product or service better is a good one. I would also suggest testing your keywords or changing them to better fit the new criteria for search. And for retail, have some inexpensive items at your store for those of us who are on a tight budget. Change the old textures or scripts to better suit the modern grid or network with your colleagues for a promotional tie-in. And, most important of all, provide excellent customer service because "word of mouth" is the best seller of your products! 



Thank you to Frolic Mills, BlackBarbie Bravin and BOSL for their submission of this raffle info for THE A LIST! blog.

Ministry of Motion is hosting a live music competition with Second Life's best musicians starting on December 6th.


The chart above is the competition schedule.


Ministry of Motion, along with co-sponsors Best of Second Life Magazine and The Stream Team, are hosting the “Best SL Musician 2009”.

The Winning Artist will be given the title of “Best SL Musician 2009”, a custom made guitar from Nomasha Syaka and $100,000L.

16 of SL’s top live musicians have been invited to play in a single elimination bracketed competition to be held at the Ministry of Motion Sim:  Dance Animations.  The musicians were selected through a nomination process consisting of major SL venue owners, musicians and music enthusiasts.

The Contest format is a head-to-head single elimination event.  The competition will include 16 musicians, performing two-at-a-time in 30 minute sets.  After each 2-artist gig, fans will be allowed 2 hours to vote for their pick for “Best Live Musician,” by touching a sign.  Individual avatars can vote only once.  All the events will be replayed the next day at 11:30am SLT followed by another 2 hours of voting.  The musician with the most votes will move to the next round of performing and voting.  The competition kicks off December 6th and will conclude when the finalists meet head to head on January 21st.
