DISQUS

I do it for a very similar reason as you; Twitter helps me vent a bit, and if people follow me, that's cool with me. I don't retweet, but I am trying to interact more.

Idealy, I would love to see the printed word survive in the future, but I think that Newspapers are just too time-sensitive to last anymore. In my opinion, I think newspapers should take more "recap" style articles where it won't matter if the newspaper sits in a shop or a machine for a week or so, you can still learn something from it.

And also, I do agree in the desire for a less political news press. Even as someone relatively left wing, I go to read news to learn about what is going on in the world, not some person's opinion on what is going on in the world.

Oh Slashdot, how I miss the days when you used to fact-check...

I've have had some odd return times... a few days ago, I had a plane of mine returned to me, it being a model that I haven't flown in a good few months.

Man, you are my new hero! These make a quite a great addition to my browser.

Personally, I have to disagree. To me, Second Life is a game to me, but not as you may think it. Unlike what other reizies (to borrow a term from Torley) may think, I fail to see any negative context to the word. A game is something one enjoys taking part in, a way to have fun with themselves and others, with or without competition involved. Words like "Infrastructure", "archetecture", "busness tool", "Platform" and "Utility" to me, fail in once crucial area: Capturing the Spirit of Second Life. All those words just sound flat and boring, failing to represent even the tiniest bit of culture that the word "game" brings to mind.
