The VWs he mentions aren't clones, and I would argue that they're not even competitors unless you consider any activity which fills leisure time to be a competitor. Do we really need another Second Life? I understand that it has its flaws, but there are so many forms which VWs can take other than One Big World on One Big Grid with One Big Client. I'd be really happy if we all just let SL and There cover that territory and instead poured our time into new ways of using VWs. I’m with Raph.

While the end product writeup isn't exactly in-depth, and my prose was a bit rushed as I slapped everything together, I felt pretty good about how complete the thing was. Yeah. Then today I discover that I've never even heard of Planet Cazmo, and I really should have. *sigh* It's so much work - staying 'l33t.
