"fad wearing off"

Seems to me the "fad" wore off a while ago. What's happening now is that those companies and institutions that have found a use for SL/opensim are making better use of the platform.

This image seems to communicate where we're at, and potentiall where we're going:

The Daily Grind: Too hard to bard?

This is why I only work in social MMOs. I have no interest in constant pressure to achieve in the context of a game. My real life is already like that. In a gameworld, I'd just like to explore and see what there is to see.

Spill the beans!!!

We are the internet generation. Patience is waiting for a page load, not a whole week for a speech...

true enough. I rather expect most of SL will be offshored into a variety of grids within 10 years. The core of SL, or rather LL, will still exist, imo, but only as a service providing organ, which is prety much what LL says it wants. Whether this counts as SL "dying" or simply being transformed is, I suppose, a matter of perspective.

"I am seeing the death of SL either way."

Funny how people keep seeing that, year after year. It's kind of like nuclear fusion: always arbitrarily far in the future.

Atlas Shrugged is an amusing concept and so is Dark Materials...the writers just sucked.

Right on Ayn Rand, wrong on Pullman.

LL stops up a communication channel?

"She needs to be fired, plain and simple for her many major botch-ups."

I dunno, this sounds markedly similar to the griping I heard from New York Yankee fans that led to the (unjust) firing of Joe Torre.

Not everyone considers the items mentioned by Jay as major "botch ups".

Akela's Wishlist: Make Second Life More Web 2.0

Oct 23rd 2007 10:47AM (Second Life Insider)

I think Akela is talking about more than web on a prim. Specifically making the objects within SL (avatars, prims, etc) objects that can exist within the web2.0 infosystem.

To some extent, the SL twitter application is an attempt to do this. But a more complex overhaul of the SL protocol will be necessary to make this truly realizable.

Engineers Will Love SL, But ...

libsecondlife has some promising tools for this.

Today in Second Life - Sunday 14 October, 2007

I realize that "lower is better" for the grid stability index. But can we get a standard deviation on that measure, so we can some idea of the best and worst values we've seen in it over the last few weeks?

Thanks.
