I was wrong about SecondLife

By Nick Hodge | October 7, 2007

Last night, a bunch of Aus­sies met up in Second­Life at the home of Cameron Reilly. Cam owns The Pod­cast Net­work, and is always good for a chat.

As a Second­Life n00b, I really hadn’t any­where to “call home”, and the con­stant typ­ing of con­ver­sa­tion left me cold. Heck, I can type and con­verse in Twitter.

As Second­Life have the voice-chat enabled, sud­denly the concept changed. You could sit and con­verse (or in my case listen, then crash out) with people.

The rebirth of 3D worlds as an immers­ive social engine might be just around the corner?

    It will be what we make of it Uncle Nick. That’s why I love the net. We are in con­trol. Second Life can be as dull and life­less as we want it to be… or as chal­len­ging and invigorating.
