Should be called "Get a Life"

Is this really what people get up when browsing the Web these days?

Yes there are over 850k people in here now and growing very fast. The digital natives of tomorrow ... our children will think nothing about existing in a virtual world .. so much more expressive than chat rooms.

Go try it ...

That is exactly the phrase I used when listening to a story on R4 on Monday about Reuters who have actually appointed a news agency partner in Second Life!!! How f**king sad is that?

Man,
What's the point of designing a boat if you can't get laid on it when it comes off the factory floor... Sad...
