SL Evolution

Monday, December 13th, 2010

I'm Facebook friends with quite a few people I know from Second Life, and I have been amazed to discover that many of them never of seldom log in anymore.

I've asked why, and the reasons are pretty varied. Some grew bored with the virtual world, while others grew tired of the vast amount of in-world drama. Some have become disenchanted with Linden Lab while others dislike how commercial SL has become. But invariably, many of those who came to SL five or six years ago are no longer part of the community.

The end of the year provides a unique perspective for most people, in that we look back at the year we just finished while celebrating the dawn of a new one. And since the Metaverse Messenger is no different, here is the annual review of the closing year.

Goodbye 2009

As I write this, 2009 is looming to an end, and I feel grateful for its demise. This previous year was a tough one for me, in almost every way. This year was a tough one financially for most of the people with whom I'm acquainted.

So many people lost their jobs, and so many more feared that they would suffer the same fate. Thousands lost their homes, and some had to move in with other family members. People who previously had benefits like health insurance suddenly found themselves without.
