I was just at a loss to figure out what you were referring to, so thanks for explaining.<BR/><BR/>I recognize you as the "alex" who sometimes comments on Prokofy's blog.

Here's the quote from Prok you used: "There ought to be a group, like Not Possible in Real Life called Too Busy in Real Life with a very lite SL browser and readers' digests of blogs and rapid-fire tours of interesting sims that they take only 15 minutes a day to consume."<BR/>It was in the context of explaining the way 'Busy in RL' people WANT to get information about VW and games. I just said that it's exactly what we do - assemble posts from multiple blog feeds into MEANINGFUL 'Topic digests' for readers. Examples: http://yolto.com/FeedTopic.aspx?Id=305 or http://yolto.com/FeedTopic.aspx?Id=158 with all proper links to sources (I'm not posting these two as links if it bothers you).<BR/>It's still a bit of a 'work in progress' but we are finishing it next week. <BR/>Once again, sorry if I didn't explain it clearly and it looked like spam or something.<BR/>Regards, Alexyolto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801031264724992788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6070972110446697029.post-30343205705279019452008-03-15T08:08:00.000-07:002008-03-15T08:08:00.000-07:00Yolto -What collection of digests was I talking ab...Yolto -<BR/><BR/>What collection of digests was I talking about?

Now I'll have to write a whole new post to set things straight. :)Danton Sidewayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592611193635208286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6070972110446697029.post-62445191574819949202008-03-14T16:44:00.000-07:002008-03-14T16:44:00.000-07:00"At the same Game Developer's Conference, Raph Kos..."At the same Game Developer's Conference, Raph Koster delivered a similar message, saying: "Why do we build theme parks instead of parks?" In other words, why are we spending time building theme parks in virtual worlds, such as in Second Life, instead of building real parks in the physical world?"<BR/><BR/>To clarify, I actually meant "why do we spend so much time building rigid entertainment experiences in virtual worlds, the equivalent of themeparks, rather than more environments that allow user freedom?"<BR/><BR/>SL is an example of a park, not a themepark, in this sense.Raph Kosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03854231119123391743noreply@blogger.com
