Getting Virtual

[robinturner]

my "virtual worlds" course continues to take shape slowly. When I first got the idea, I was motivated in part by laziness and time constraints, so a course that would enable me to recycle some of the best bits of my previous courses sounded like a good idea: a few texts from my "games" course, a few texts from my "Matrix" course, a few articles about Second Life, a few pages scanned from William Gibson and Bingo! a course. No way. It's widening out in all directions as I realise that there are elements of virtuality in everything from 3G phones to FaceBook (this latter prompted by an excellent post from tsenft).

Anyway, after messing around with various online applications, I've decided that it is high time someone produced World of Second MyFace.

I haven't heard anybody (yet) make the joke :

"Get the fuck out of MySpace", or maybe "He's really getting in my FaceBook".

"ArseBook" ? "Twatter" ?
