Wagner James Au thinks...

Back in 4-22-08, Wagner James Au talked about Second Life with Metaverse TV's The Late Show host Angelico Babii.



The Future of Virtual World

Lately there have been various opinions regarding the future of Second Life (exodus of users or increase of users?). It has being one of the most active and hyped virtual community and environment online. Rather than defining a focal purpose, Second Life, starting with tech savvy users and content developers, promoted itself to activists, gamers, business users, women, educational institutions, and international communities. All these are based on its two main features - user created and owned 3D content & communication and interaction through avatar representation. However since there is no rules and goals, unlike in the conventional MMO games, users are left to figure out what they want out of this virtual world.

It's been a very experimental journey for me as well since I joined in 2006. I will be doing a series of posts about what Second Life was, is, and will be. Maybe then there will be a new direction generated.
