Web 2.0 is past, Web 3.0 is here... It is absolutely true that the way we communicate with each other is changing. But... From all we have for and around SL, how many of them do we really need? Don't we loose quality of communication in its quantity (channels, connections, groups)? Do we really need to be connected to all those people? How much time do we spend maintaining those connections? And the most important question... Who does really profit from these interactions?

I absolutely agree with your last lines, but disagree that it has changed in the past years. I’ve known the Wednesday evenings too. And I certainly wasn’t the only one in those days who’s made flickr, gmail, and twitter accounts within weeks after joining SL (the blog was a few months later indeed).

I do see a change of attitude on all these platforms though: from having fun together to making Art and doing Business and all the drama corresponding with these Very Important Activities.

Excellent take on how things have evolved over the last few years. There was no facebook, plurk, or twitter when I joined sl. Amazing how quickly all this technology booms forth from one thing or another.

I absolutely agree with you. I don’t understand the chicken thing either.

It’s interesting that many people in my industry consider SL to be the ultimate in web 2.0, but your post makes it clear that there is much missing.

Dude, you suck. I totally wanted this post to be about chickens.

*sics Pradella on you*

I only spent a couple of hours online this morning. I spent the rest of the day out pounding the real pavement trying to find a real job.

It’s sweet relief to be home now, cocktail in hand, ready to relax and log on and count my chicken eggs. Oh, and talk to my SL friends. I love my Second Life friends. However, I do feel sort of blessed in that I don’t feel the need to watch their every move or read their every tweet/Plurk/FB update, etc., all day long. A conversation once or twice a day suffices for me.

As far as a blog goes, crap I hope I don’t fall in the puppy category. I do think it’s cool that Second Life inspires so many people to share their thoughts and experiences in pictures and writing. At the moment my real life is not inspirational enough to evoke such a literary or visual reaction.

OMG as usual this comment is all over the place.

*runs away*

YOU FOOLED ME, I thought this was another chicken drama, hahaha. Web 2.0 and social media – such a hot topic in my industry. Facebook isn’t just for chatting anymore. I know of people who actually use to maintain business contacts and search for customers. Web 2.0 may change the world as we know it.
