I see that WIN is also looking to start a Second Life-related blog. Cool, the more the merrier. I find the whole virtual to reality business side of things very interesting and while there a bunch of Second Life blogs there are not many blogs seriously discussing how to blend the two worlds from a business perspective. Will 2006 be the year of MMO blogs? Perhaps doubtful, but our group is definitely dipping more than a few toes in the water with this effort, including sharing real world and virtual world facts and figures.

Just last month ZDNet passed on an idea I pitched to them. I’m still going with that idea, in fact am working with others on it now and will be telling folks here about it soon. I think folks will find it useful and engaging, but then I’m heavily biased. [...] […] Like any other writer, I still meet with rejection. Just last month ZDNet passed on an idea I pitched to them.

Somewhat less flattering than the usual interpretation. Too bad about ZDnet. Their mother really does wear army boots. I think you're right about e-mail. When 90% of what we receive is crap, it's easy to miss something important. That also makes for a great excuse for not replying. Maybe blogging will evolve into the communication form of choice for the future. I think I'll blog about that now.
