I don’t doubt it, Jeremy; in fact, I think your blog was the first place I ever saw it mentioned.

I’ve been on it since 2005, and think there’s some cool stuff in there.

I was working on my appearance and my computer siezed up. I uninstalled it. I wanted to fgo visit teh “For Immediate Releasase” booth. Maybe I will try again with my new laptop.

Man, do I feel old.

It is weird, and obviously a little “techy” for now… But, I have been to Second Life several dozen times to watch and learn. It is certainly an usual experience.

I believe the potential of this type of online community is the really fascinating part of Second Life. They have a real monetary system in place, you can actually buy sell and own land, build structures, sell goods, have a meeting with others, or fly around aimlessly wearing a tunic.

I think it would be VERY wise to watch this closely. An online enviroment with this much potential could easily become the next step for the internet. It makes the internet a “place” rather than a “thing” and at a fundamental human level that makes sense.

So Scott, put on that tunic and keep on flying!

I signed up, set my appearance, dressed myself in a tunic that looked like an Oriental rug, and then flew around aimlessly for 15 minutes.

I’ll wait for the dumbed-down version.
