Second Life, What Is Really Going On
I never, even not in the most positive of my nightmares, thought I would write this one day, but there is something interesting going on at Valleywag.
At Valleywag, we’d long had an inchoate irritation with Second Life and, more specifically, with the uncritical press coverage that the virtual world enjoyed. Often, a company’s publicity can get ahead of mundane reality; it’s often more the fault of a credulous press than an over-eager PR operation. But, when a virtual land baroness in Linden Lab’s online game claimed she was now a millionaire, it was clear that Second Life was begging for a takedown.

After I just took this screenshot of Second Life’s homepage, I actually do wonder why all the (anti) hype (click the image for the large picture).
