For the sake of preservation, I am pasting this blog entry from the Electric Sheep blog, “Out To Pasture“, written by Giff. The post was published at 2:30am, but it vanished from the blog a few hours (if not less) later, leaving only the text, “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” The post that I’m […]

I wonder if some of the people that write stories about Second Life actually do any sort of investigating before they say a word. It’s been people dropping numbers like “over 9 million” residents and more recently “10 million residents”. Who the hell cares about these numbers, anyway? Do they think that the people reading […]

While we didn’t honestly expect to be on a list like this, since this blog was only started about 20 days ago, we wanted to point out an Op/Ed post written by Casey Jones, at the Second Life Herald. We actually don’t want to be a train wreck, at all, some of the things that […]

As I read a couple things about how educators were bringing out something called “Second Life: K-20 Educators Exploring Virtual Worlds - Panel”, I started to write this post. Before I started typing anything, I stepped outside for a few minutes to gather my thoughts. The trees were still dripping from the collection of moisture […]

I just want to call your attention to a previous post. Since Linden Lab decided to reply to the findings done by Yankee Group, and at least a hundred fanboys took their word for it, I wanted to update that the reply was made.
I also wanted to show you the math, myself! Why is everybody […]

There aren’t a whole lot of them, but it is just another thing that makes SL suck so bad. One of the loudest voices against SL and the way they do things; One of the loudest voices against civility, always treating people as if their thoughts and opinions don’t matter and his are the only […]

Second Life makes it to #1 on a list of “ten things you really shouldn’t do before you die”, written by Andrew Thomas:
“1. Avoid social networking sites such as Facebook. These are frequented by people you’d really rather not meet. Second Life should also be avoided as it is populated by people who don’t have […]

Heidi Miller said that it sucked, almost a year ago, with many people (including Torley) being “hopeful” in her comments. It hasn’t gotten any better.
This was a post from Raul Crimson, posted a couple weeks ago. It’s still getting worse, every day.
“In my opinion the problem is not only the bugs and the issues, i’m […]

“Opportunities exist for specialised computer simulations and for advanced multiplayer video games. Virtual worlds, however, make a much wider claim. They want to be entire worlds of numerous activities. They want to be profitable simulations of the entire economy. And that is less likely to be successful. Virtual worlds are mostly consumption economies in which […]

An anonymous person from Princeton thinks that Second Life is a joke, and that the university would be better off without it. An article in The Daily Princetonian says:
“While it is true that a generation of students and faculty has largely been wooed by the convenience of email, the fun of iTunes and the utility […]

Sorry Second Life evangelists. The Yankee Group’s just not buying the hype surrounding SL and other virtual worlds. Today, in a “group note” called Wither Second Life?, the research firm revealed that despite near-continuous media coverage, SL and other metaverses are actually in the midst of a continued slow down in growth and limited impact […]
