Which well known novel was this new tech/service inspired by? Honest, it's easy. I'm definitely going to have to check it out when I've got broadband. [via soulsong]
I can see I'm going to have to make my post on the subject public.
Thanks for that. Interesting reading and I'd love to badger you with questions about it, bit it's all a rather theoretical interest for me until they release an OS X client or I get a new monitor for my old PC.
Also, I'm trying to ignore your dancing badger icon badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom...argh! get out, get out of my head!!!
In very long comment threads, it gets very disturbing I'm told. (Mwahaha)
ps I played SecondLife for a couple of hours. It was *painful*. Slow, ugly, awful interface, no helpful people to show me around... in fact I only saw one person the whole time I was there. Contrast to There where I end up in fascinating conversations everywhere I go even when I'm trying desperately to do work and ignore the place.
I could say "your mileage may vary" but really, in this case, no, it won't :p
