Lee - I will be interested to hear of your continuted adventures in Second Life. Although I haven't dived in yet, I have been following a lot of the chatter about this new 'tool'. Part of my lack of exposure to this world is what Mrs. Bettercomms would surely agree with - where do we find the time to not only follow the new tools, but try them out, evaluate them and, if necessary, become proficient with them? There just aren't enough hours in the day when there are families (teen boys, right?) to attend to and homes to keep up, life to be lead. It's very daunting sometimes.
Oh, can you tell it is Monday morning and a long week is in front of me? Sorry for the whining, but it's a real issue for a lot of us. I'm lucky - I'll follow your adventures with Second Life ;) as well as another woman's in our organization. She's started to check out SL, too.
As for the 'complication' that people in SL might not be who they profess to be, well...that can be said for bloggers, too. Unless they are very public bloggers you don't necessarily know just who they are, right? Or folks who do online dating, I guess. Chat rooms, too. There is a bit of a leap of faith online wherever you are.
However, the 'complication' really is when a company tries to do any type of marketing analysis in SL. The information they get probably will not be as accurate as they'd like. After all, "50% of females in SL like our widget", in reality might not be all females...like the avatar you've created. You sly guy, you...
Like I said above in this long winded comment - I will be very interested to hear about your SL adventures, Lee! Keep us all posted.

Lee, glad to see you are more active again. Am sill a SL-newbee myself, but when you are in-world, look for Sab Bellambi, I might be there.

I'm still exploring the surrounding area myself. If we cross paths, I'm sure you'll recognize me :-)

G'day everyone! Apols for disappearing off the radar -- a post later today will explain. As for SL, I doubt that anyone would recognise my beautiful swan and believe that this ugly ol' drake was the brawn behind her. She's almost as beautiful and radiant as you, Andrea! :-)
