www.mappanovus.com By SL Hak There has been some controversy over my selection for the Second Life “Best Blog” - the recommendation has been criticized but no alternative suggestions made. If you disagree with the selections please indicate what you consider the best, these will be considered for future releases and will allow SL Reports readers to judge for themselves. There are a number of websites addressing land sales in Second Life, one stands out as head and shoulders above all others. Mappa Novus is a website dedicated to making purchasing land a more pleasurable experience. It currently adds functionality to that currently offered by the Second Life land sales and search. It isn't perfect and having to pay for a subscription isn't ideal for the occasional trader. Don't let this deter you as there is also a free land search tool, which offers sufficient search criteria to appreciate the potential of Mappa Novus. Use the Region, seller and keyword search functions and the even the free search tool becomes an impressive ally.
It is also good to see Linden Labs issuing a video tutorial on the complexities of land in Second Life.
