“Green Goose is like playing Second Life, the first timeâ€, which, I gather is a headline written by someone who has been a Second Life user probably approximately zero times.

Journalists. We rely on them for news about business, politics, world and local events, and more. Most of what we know about our world comes to us through a journalist at some point or another. When it comes to writing about technology, things get shakier, and when it comes to anything to do with Second Life, journalists tend to be a major let-down, as I’ve noted before. This Christmas was no exception. So said Philip Rosedale. The actual quote is a bit uncertain, as various media outlets that covered it at the time have the wording slightly different. I can find at least three versions of the quote. So, here’s the dealie-o. I don’t really think Rosedale meant or really believed what what he said when he said that – assuming he said it and it wasn’t just a misunderstanding. The question is, why did anyone else believe it? |
