Scepticism about Second Life – a healthy dose

April 29, 2007 by Metaverse Journal Editor Leave a Comment

If you’re an avid reader of everything SL, it’s easy to end up with a very skewed view of SL. The mainstream media tend to either get extoll the ‘wow’ factor of business in virtual worlds or focus solely on the ‘dark’ side of SL.

Scepticism is rarely employed in a discplined way however some methodical scepticism on SL can certainly be found at Second Life Safari, part of the Something Awful site. If you’re starting to get a little rose-coloured in your view, then a healthy dose of new reading may be in order.

At SLOz our view has always been that SL is one damn interesting phenomenon, but one that requires an investigative rather than closed mind.
