How is my description of Second Life wrong? Well, anyway, I never said that my anything is objective because I am a blogger so my everything is SUBjective, and so there we go. The comparison is not unappropriate [sic] either -- I was just comparing hypes -- people were comparing the current popularity trend of Twitter to the ascent of Second Life and I was just saying that they are suffering from different hypes -- I was comparing their successes, their hype, and their potential for brand failure -- which is what everyone but you thinks has happened to Second Life: fail whale.
