Emerald Viewer

Have you heard about this (new) fantastic Emerald Viewer for Second Life? I must admit i am enthusiastic about it. It has so many features i was missing in the common SL-viewer. Some new features are for example the radar-button in the task bar which displays all avatars in the sim with one click. It also shows the viewer people are using. Awesome!

Besides it has more options for builders, more shapes for prims, more detailed direction of objects and a few more cool details.

Another feature is that you can see people`s mouse-movements. Emerald shows a little cross with the name on top, so you can see where the person is currently focussing/camming on. First i was absolutely excited about that. Wow, i thought, how awesome was that? To see who zooms where is going to be interested. As i am curious by nature i was excited to try it out.

First of all i was surprised how many people are using Emerald in Gor already! I said in Gor, cause it seems to be a thing of gorean people...outside of SL Gor you barely see people using Emerald. After my first hype i was plainly perplex. I saw many people using the Emerald viewer, but NOONE...yes i said NOONE....cammed around looking into other avarar`s faces or clothing. Why, i asked myself? People spend hours and lots of dollars pimping their avatars and dont want to look at others?

I can only think of one explanation. Emerald users know about this feature they wanna be so super-duper-cool, like "Hey, i have Emerald and i know you can see my cam-movements, but i am so supercool, i dont NEED to look at you, no..i am not interested at all, all i want is roleplay, and the visual is super-uninteresting for me, ya know?"

Fuck! Why are you in SL then? Go to a HTML-Gor-Chatroom and be cool.

The thing is, that people WITHOUT Emerald are camming around and you can see them looking in people faces and such. Its like people dont wanna get caught or camming is something bad only uncool people do. Umm....

I will keep putting my mouse on avatars and i dont care of someone thinks i am spying or what. I like the visuality of SL, i love pimping avatars and i love to look at pimped avatars.

And YAY for Emerald !
