Am I the only one who goes on Second Life primarily to *socialize*
*with* *people*, and not to buy shit?

Its the dot com boom all over again, only virtual. The internet is not
about mass marketing. Its about connecting people. Social networking.
What was the internet's first killer app? It wasn't telnet, and it
wasn't FTP. It was email. Second Life is not about virtual mass
marketing, its about connecting people. Eventually the whole "get rich
quick" fad will die, and "SL 2.0" will arise from its ashes, just like
the web.

And now I'm starting to sound like Dzonatas or something. :)
