SecondLife

Filed under: the latest - =lloyd= @ 12:03 am

Warning: the following story contains a whole lot of links, please do take your time to check them out though, be amazed.

The whole online networking craze seems to be endlessly evolving into madness of unseen hights. After the whole msn, myspace, web2.0, youtube, flickr, blog and other crazes SecondLife seems to be the hottest thing around, anno 2006. The hype started a while ago but I had to see it to believe it, cuoldn’t blog it based on hear-say therefor this is quite a late pass. I’m sorry for that. But, I saw it now and here’s the deal:

In SecondLife you develop a new life. Really, that’s all there is to it. You get your charachter, tweak it to match your imagination, or to match reality even, and start living your e-life. Here’s A Day in Second Life.

I hear you coming: “lloyd, online games aren’t new to me, I’ve been a dedicated Warcraft player for ages now.”

I know, and I silently ignored the whole the Sims‘ hype, but here’s the thing: apparently this isn’t a game! SecondLife is drop-dead reality. In your secondlife world, you earn real dollars. Business are paying big money for real estate in the second life world. A Chinese lady earned her self thousands of dollars, by building virtual houses… Reuters has a journalist reporting on the SecondLife reality, full-time job…

I don’t really know where all this is heading to, I always considered myself quite an online person but this is quite above my hat.

First time in my life I came to think, If only I were a hacker, I’d tear the whole damn e-place down, taking all them e-peoples with me.

Just wanted to let you know. There you are, knowing. Stay on-point!
