Sand Flys in the Second Life Sandbox

Comments

I am soooo with you on this. Was at a conference in Boston a couple of weeks ago, theme was supposed to revolve around social media and it's use in pr, marketing, journalism, et al. What I walked away with was that a lot of the people in the room think Second Life is really keen, just neat-o terrific. When I asked one of them to explain what they thought of the game, he said it was "a way to duplicate your real-life, only online!" That was when I surpresed a gag reflex and headed out to the bar to have a real life...

I think Second Life will be a delineator between what is realy "new media" and what is out and out bullshit. It is also likely the delineator between old school and new school - and if this is the new school, I'm dropping out. Bunch of f***ing crap.

I just like it when you start a post with "Oh for fuc's sake..." It gives me a warm, tingly, holiday kind of feeling...

Happy to jump start that holiday season:-)

How about this for a Second Life ad campaign, "For people without a life."

They used to think the world was flat! Now there can be several versions of you in several worlds.

I know a place where I can be young, handsome, happy, successful and rich! Now why would that appeal to people, I wonder...

C'mon guys, the writing is on the wall. Ten years ago, people were considering getting that internet thingy on their computers. Twenty years ago mobile phones were for rich yuppies; now look at us. 3D worlds are part of the big future of communication. You don't have to like it - just don't poo-poo it so quickly; your words just may haunt you one day!

You can stay back in cosy land where nothing changes if you really want to; but what does 'really' mean anyway?
