I was intrigued by story news.com.com that “Second Life Faces Threat To Virtual Economy” (Edit: 2024 updated link), particularly since I had never heard of Second Life. I know that Gill is a Warcrafter, just wondered if there are any Secondlifers around here? ?
Not sure I see the attraction, one life sometimes seems to much … 🙂
I told you all about secondlife *ages* ago. It’s fairly pointless.
Nooo! I must look! It might suck me in and take away another year of my life! *Peeps out from between fingers*
I meant to say “mustn’t” then. Freudian slip or what? 😉
Doesn’t run on a mac, so no interest from me!
I heard of it ages ago too, even before Jax told us about it! I don’t see the attraction either …
I signed up for this the other day, only been on it once though. I couldn’t really see what I was supposed to do though. I had fun making a second me, that was the best bit!
oh man… just what i need, a more threatening animal crossing!
I don’t think it is threatening, just puzzling. BTW I signed up, but my firewalls won’t let me play.
It clearly isn’t pointless to the people who use it or the companies that are now using it. Reuters actually have a secondlife news bureau!!
Lol! That’s crazy 🙂 I love the internets.
I think I would like to open a fish and chip shop there. Assuming the stocks of virtual fish aren’t depleted I think it would be a winner.
I wonder if you are still allowed to wrap fish and chips in newspaper in Second Life?
It’d have to be the Gaurdian online or something, which I don’t suppose is nearly as good for wrapping with 😉
(Obviously that was a deliberate typo in Graudina … *obviously* …. )
Don’t worry no-one else can spell Grandiau.
I think you have uncovered the flaw in my plan. My customers will all read online newspapers, Can you wrap something in a day old online newspaper? Would I have to get my stock from archive.org?
Maybe a sushi restaurant would be a better bet.
No, a kebab shop!
Now there’s a story for Reuters, “Second Life Salmonella Slaughter” 👿
