9-bloggers-im-thankful-for

Continuing our theme of gratitude in the run up to holydays, I'd like to express my gratitude to 9 bloggers I'm thankful for.  9  people whose blogs I recommend you read if you don't already.

• Michael Hyatt – Thanks for being a great example as CEO, blogger, and social media .  I aspire to lead people within my company and influence those outside of it the way you do.
• Steve Fogg – Thanks for your passion for church communications and for raising the bar through your blog.
• Tim Schraeder – Thanks for all you do to help other church communicators through your blog, Outspoken, Cultivate, and more.
• Mike Ellis – Thanks for pushing the envelope and challenging me and others to love people that most tend to ignore – the poor, homeless, alcoholics, people who have messed up, people who think different that I do.
• Brandon Cox – Thanks for being a pastor of pastors.  And thanks for being an exceptional example and advocate for pastors leading through blogging and social media.
• John Saddington – Thanks for raising the bar in the church/tech niche of the blogosphere.  I learn a ton from you and am a better blogger because of your blogging.
• Dan King – Thanks for working with me on the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog, for the awesome job you did tweeting from Haiti, and for all you do with The High Calling.
• Phill Gibb – Thanks for engaging with me on Christian Web Trends and in social media.  You've been one of the most frequent commenters and retweets for a long time, and have contributed a lot of insight here over the years.
• Ron Edmonson – Thanks for heart you have for developing leaders and for the way you challenge and encourage leaders through your blog.

Of course, there are lots of other bloggers who I appreciate but just don't have the space to thank here.
What bloggers are you thankful for?

LifeChurch.tv has a Second Life Church Campus

For the last few months we have been working on a virtual campus in Second Life. If you are not familiar with Second Life, you can read more about it in Wikipedia.

We purchased an island (16 virtual acres of real estate) and have worked with both in-house and outside developers to develop the property. There are still several areas of the island that we have not developed, but we are opening the island for a “beta test” this week.

You can download the software and create an avatar (see the wiki above) on Second Life for free and using the map you can search for “Experience Island” then teleport there. If you already have the software installed you can simply go there.

 

Some of the things to checkout when you are there:

- On-demand video
- Free LifeChurch.tv T-shirts
- The environment and theming of our LifeKids area and the building in general
- The Mysecret.tv glass house

Also, on the island you will see an area dedicated to content from our friends at xxxchurch.com. I need to warn you that there is a huge problem on Second Life with porn and “virtual sex”. It is one of several reasons we are there, but it is also something that you need to be on guard about.

Below you can see several screenshots of the island and buildings.

We will have a grand opening very soon, but in the meantime visit Experience Island if you can and give me your feedback please.
