Actually I was never active in Second Life. I joined few months ago, created avatar, started to explore, to investigate, participated/ audit few lectures and that was all. I never had any intentions to go deeper: sell, buy, use entertainment facilities, or interacting per se with unknown people. I was usually invited to events (education content).

Second Life, beside server, metrics and other bugs, have many other failures I described here. It is column in Serbian though, for those who speak Serbian – it is realistic and full critique on SL with some stats.  It is very easy to quit something that doesn’t have the future. With simply: uninstall!

If you didn’t register yet, here’s the chance. Yes, I’m coming to the Conference and will be flying over the pond (second time around, same place, different event)  and East coasters will have a chance to meet me and talk on academic web 2.0 issues, science blogging, and everything else at the Conference. And beyond. Looking forward to see Tar Heelians and other folks.
