To summarize, just like in real life, most people should be able to start a successful business in Second Life by spending and hour or two hanging out on a city street?

No one’s righting any imbalances around here, Tomas; the Herald *is* an imbalance! Or at least, Always Fairly Unbalanced.

The recent postings from editor Emeritus Urizenus basically seem boil down to “all the cool kids like SL: I’m going to dis them and show them how uncool it is!”

This isn’t “righting an imbalance”: it’s childish schoolyard crap.

i am very sorry for this guy that he did not get cybered or collared in the way that he was looking for. the mass media is very clear that SL is becoming a corporate marketeers oasis.

people should, well, try to RESPECT that kind of corruption.

Yet another clueless article, without this smarty pants ever utilizing search. My guess is, popular picks and tp. Oh I’d love to rip into him, but the article doesn’t allow comments… awww.

This is the problem with these stupid articles. They come in, go one place and base their entire piece and opinion off someplace they tped, without even spending time on orientation island. Offering the skirt for sale to the room? Common sense must elude Yalies… if they get it for free… chances are the rest of us have it. But NO! We can’t tell anyone in the article that!

Keep the yuppie, pretentious, mommy and daddy kids out of SL (see I can stereotype too!). More sex for me!

I’ve never encountered anything like what was described. I guess its because I’m logging in from the UK and am out of time-sych with the mainly US population.

It just always seems pretty quiet.

Well, that was mean! That college boy just needs to get laid. Geez. I’m glad we’re seeing some rejection of Internet culture from our nation’s finest educational institutions though, that’s inspiring.
