QOTD: Shelley Powers on Second Life:
Every time I read a story associated with Second Life, I
am moved to pity.
I keep getting bounce messages from spammers trying to send stuff to the mostly defunct idrama mailing list. Last time I sent an email to the list suggesting that it be shut down, someone asked me to write a note about why I no longer cared about computer mediated interactive drama. It's been a few years, I still haven't written that note, but I think that quote kind of sums it up.

Had the name not already taken, I was thinking of creating a massively multiplayer online game called "Half Life". It's massively multiplayer, but for some reason, you never see anyone. The graphics consist of a dingy, single room apartment with an empty refridgerator and a phone that only dials Dominos Pizza.

I've been wondering if downloadalife.com could be retasked to make some money from the 2nd life craze..
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
