I commented on my first Massively article today. They were talking about the fact that noone seems to know where SL is going. It's part of my lit review at the moment. So I wrote (impulsively and without thought though I never do leave comments or hardly evern in any case):
Virtual Worlds are nascent. Fancy word for new. Not all of them. True. But the Linden Lab vision is. The reason Linden don't know where it is going is because it is up to the users themselves. They are the customer. Linden responds (well, in theory at least). A world imagined and created by its residents. Each interest group within SL imagines the future of the platform in their own way based on the meaning Second Life has for them. Based on how it helps them to meet their goals. The future of Second Life then is contingent upon those who create it and the ways in which they imagine its future will unfold. That's what makes it. Well, that's my two cents anyway...
