Nevermind, Let’s Not Talk About Second Life

The Chicago Tribune featured Second Life on the front page today, below the fold, in a multi-article profile.

(Makes ya wonder how long they had that in the can waiting for a slow news day, and, wow, this is a REALLY slow news day.) Anyways …

Despite the curious placement, it’s an interesting set of articles about Second Life: the hardware, the people, the commerce, the celebrities, the absurd.

Now, because the Tribune is under the mistaken belief that locking content behind registrations is a GOOD IDEA, I can’t share and we can’t talk about it and now we’re all just annoyed, so try to imagine the 2-paragraph pithy commentary I would have written instead of this one sentence:

I’ve lost interest.

  1. Any news entity who believes that locking content behind a registration is a good idea deserves to fade into obscurity. I’d CC the Tribune editors, but I really don’t care about their continued existence in the digital age enough to search for an e-mail address.
