[Second Life Future Salon] Notes, Quotes, and Q&A from Jim Purbrick/Babbage Linden's SL Future Salon Presentation: >>>"One of the really funny things about Second Life was that when I first visited and came to one of the sandboxes [open building areas], it looked a lot like one of the experiments I had done a few years ago. (There’s a video on Terra Nova if anyone’s interested in having a look””the actual graphics are very poor, but it does look a lot like a sandbox.) And the funny thing was, when I did those experiments at the time, I’d get people in, I’d get 30 people into a lab, I’d have to explain to everyone how to use it, I’d have to explain what the goals of the experiment were, and then I’d have to pay them 5 pounds, which is 10 dollars, which is the amount of money people pay Linden Lab to actually have a look at Second Life in the first place before they even start buying land”¦ It was kind of a funny reversal in that a few years ago we were paying people to come and in and sort of suffer virtual worlds and now people are coming along to see all of the wonderful things that are in Second Life."

[FrontPage] The Wedding Trip to Boston: It did, we waited for Fran whom I did the AnyFrontPage Bytes ezine with for four years. She was staying near Logon airport so she could pick up Tiffany (another Microsoft MVP - FrontPage) but things did not work out, and so she had a good 40 minutes to drive to meet us, on the way the dog (which she had had to bring with her) was sick all over her so she had to go back to change. Eventually she arrived and went to lunch at the Legal Sea Food across the street. Yummy clam chowder which i'd had for the first time, We had a great time chatting away I just wish it could have been longer but we took some photos to remind us we all were real - lol - we had never meet in the flesh before.

[Venture Chronicles by Jeff Nolan] Yahoo announces API for its search engine: Scoble makes a good point, search engine results are increasingly populated by blog content, which is also a good thing for blogs because it drives traffice. I'm not an advocate of a blog-free search engine, just a switch that lets me ignore blog content for a particular search... another expression operator

[Simon.incutio.com] Simon Willison: The dangers of PageRank: I've had a few entries take on lives of their own, most pleasingly about mental health. I don't feel personally involved but the people talking to each other via my weblogs seem to feel they've been helped. Makes up for the stupid comments and the children who leave "adfsl."

[Costas-blog.blogspot.com] The Critical 'I': Still, it's frustrating. I'm thinking that perhaps the recent acquisition of Blogger.com by Google could be an opportunity to add an integrated blog commenting system into the Blogger service (preferably one that doesn't involve a separate pop-up window, but instead appends comments to the bottom of each posting--now that's the ticket!)I don't know why they didn't do it in the first place, along with a counter and a couple of other bells and whistles; it'd make things a lot easier and probably be a big competitive advantage. In fact, having an integrated blog commenting system would probably be the one thing that would entice me enough to upgrade to the pay-for Blogger Pro.
