The Birth of an Avatar

This is an interesting bit I caught from a SL list-serv:

NMC - We Birthed Our First Avatar

There's some exciting work underway at NMC Campus. We are working with the Linden Lab API for account generation that will allow us to host our own new user account creation form on this web site, rather than going through the form at the main Second Life web site. When the account is created, a new avatar will not be sent to the Orientation Island with every other newbie, but they will go to our own custom Orientation Island.

So this is a big deal. It means we will be able to customize the Orientation process with special resources and tips aimed at an Educational audience. We'll be able to provide landmarks to the best education destinations. And hopefully we can recruit a set of mentors interested in helping out those newly minted avatars.

Yes, this has a lot of potential - especially for customizing avatars and identity creation. A lot of possibilities here.
