interactive design rationale

i've decided to work on the second life gallery space brief, and since we're allowed to work in pairs on this one i will be working with liam.
i chose this brief because it has the second life element and the social network site, so i'll be getting a chance to develop my second life skills and my web 2.0 ones aswell. and i want to see what is possible with emerging web technologies.

what both me and laim are hoping to do with this brief is to make something in second life that reflects the possibilities of what can be done there, instead of relying on something based on what we see in real life. although i think it will be worthwhile looking at some real life architecture to see how we could adapt these ideas into second life. we want to get across the idea of what is possible in a metaverse instead of creating a comfort zone.

i'd also like the chance to play with twitter again, and i'm hoping that since i'm working in a pair this time i can work on my group skills some more.
