Goodbye Meta Makeover - hello Designing Worlds
Designing Worlds is the hit weekly show on design and designers in virtual worlds, broadcast every week by Treet TV, the leading TV network in today’s virtual environments. From its roots as a “meta-makeover” show, the programme has developed into a magazine/factual format, adding interviews and visits to some of the most impressive locations in Second Life and other virtual environments.
Designing Worlds is presented by Saffia Widdershins, the Editor of Prim Perfect Magazine, and Elrik Merlin of Radio Riel.
The show goes out in 720p High Definition every Monday at 2pm SLT/Pacific Time and is repeated through the week on the Treet Lifestyle channel. Shows can also be viewed on the Treet Designing Worlds site and downloaded as podcasts via iTunes.
On every show, you’ll meet some of the top builders, creators and designers in today’s virtual worlds – and you’re guaranteed a wealth of new ideas, products and venues.
To keep up to date, bookmark this blog – and for in-world updates, click on a Designing Worlds Subscribe-a-Matic. You’ll find them at the Designing Worlds studio on Garden of Dreams2, and at Prim Perfect headquarters in Costa Rica.
And if you want to watch the show again, there are repeats on the Treet.TV Lifestyle channel. You can also watch it on the web at the Treet.TV website. Or you can download it from the iTunes store to watch on iTunes – or even on your iPod.
Would you like your home or your work to feature on Designing Worlds? Send an email to us with three or four pictures attached, and what you think would be of interest – that you’d like a makeover, or you’d like us to visit and look at your work. You could feature on a future programme! And if you know a special place in Second Life that we should really visit on the show, drop us a line too.
Designing Worlds 
Just as in the real world, we see the beginnings of natural collaborations, which bode well for the shape of virtual worlds to come so as to slot seamlessly into our mainstream culture.
Style fashion and design, are all influenced and molded by the collective, and it will be with interest we watch the trends begin to emerge.
I for one cannot wait for the outcome as we begin to see what influences win out in the jostling for position of the ideas that influence us be they from the real world into the virtual, or the other way around, as we all wind our way to the unified world we can all see on the horizon.
Thanks to all who are working on this project as you make it easier for all of us.
