I think a Computer Associates conference is more substantive. This was nothing more than a cult of second life coordinated self congratulatory circle jerk.

After they “open source the grid” what the hell are they going to do with all those virtual bazillionaires? Tough shit I guess. Maybe they can sell their funnymoney to Benchmark Capital.

I meant to blog about it but I just didn’t have the stomach.

It was essentially 75% mid-level ad execs trying to figure out how to spend $20k of discretionary income to cover their ass and say they’re doing something in virtual worlds. 20% of the rest of the crowd worked for Linden Labs or Electric Sheep.

The only bright spot was the folks from MTV, who are actually trying some new things and were happy to share the good, the bad, and the statistics.
