I don’t think I’d have the patience for Second Life. My first one is challenging enough as it is!

Ning is ok, but has a rather static feel. Has the problem Orkut etc had. You need to check it a lot, and even with RSS it can feel a chore. It progresses in fits and starts.

The experiment at LSW may be the future. A wiki for sharing ideas, a loose structure based on that wiki and a ‘social’ space via Meebo.
