[Alan links into Second Life, arriving at Shipley sim, landing point of one Hamlet Linden. He looks around, finds the place empty, and realizes [he’s late][Late]. Sighing, he sits down and writes]:
Best of luck Hamlet. Hope things turn out well in the short-term, and in particular for the book.
With your pending disconnect from ‘official’ links with Linden Lab, perhaps you should look at the other aspects of this growing set of worlds, what I’ve tended to term (perhaps more accurately) as meta-world instead of metaverse.
SL is just one aspect of course. I’ve looked at There, and ActiveWorlds, and of course my ‘main’ home in the Caverns of D’ni, within the vast Uru. They all have their places I think, each their strengths and weaknesses, and its still anyone’s guess what shall happen in the near future.
After all, no ending can ever be written; We live within that moment, and from that a new beginning arises.
