At the risk of sounding smug, I've been finding the 3D worlds boring.
There's already a rich environment, brimming with possibilities for
human life and expression on the internet - it's called "the
internet". It's just hard to recognise it as such, because it's not
like the physical world at all. That people then go and implement a 3D
walled garden in a little corner of the 'net, is nice for a
playground, but I wouldn't want to live there. When I upload, I want
to be native to the raw 'net, leave the physical world analogues for
the n00bs.

Interesting article, although it did make me think "really? they are
only just now adding voice to SL?" We had to deal with this in WoW
quite some years back, and (*spoiler alert*) the augmentationists win.
