Today Linden Lab announced they are bringing back the Community Gateway Program.
Previously, the Community Gateway program helped bring new users to Second Life, by enabling Second Life communities to attract, register, an on-board new Residents. The program was shelved in 2010 as resources were re-prioritized, and now we’re excited to reintroduce the Community Gateway program along with some improvements that will make it even more valuable to Second Life. We recognize the benefit of having Resident supported tutorial areas and have been working with several communities while fine tuning the new program over the last year.
This program allows Second Life Communities to:
-
Create a new user experience and attract Residents to your specific community
-
Assist those new Residents in beginning their journey into Second Life
-
Lend a guiding hand in the creation of their new avatar personas
-
Assist with increasing new user retention.
This powerful new tool will allow you to register new users right from your own community website and add them automatically to your group, thus helping your community to grow!
All details about this program (including how to apply) may be found here.
