6 months, 9 months tops: Same blogs and publications now read "Virtual Office Roleplaying Utter Waste of Time, Money and Bandwidth".

This current (I predict brief) trend of "office role playing" will only result in a nasty backlash when everyone realizes how utterly ridiculous and useless it is.

This shouldn't be a surprise - what we're doing here is equivalent to taking a magazine ad and just tossing it on television.

We're wasting the medium.
