I have a love-hate relationship with it...I think it is too difficult to use on a regular basis compared to other social networking tools, yet at the same time, I recognise it's value for simulation...especially in my field which is midwifery education. <br /><br />This move by Linden Lab may well be the nail in the coffin as far as SL is concerned...and even virtual worlds...that will depend on how easy I find it to connect with OpenSim or Reaction Grid...I guess time will tell.<br /><br />cheers Sarah (SL: Petal Stransky)Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041624883246722973.post-51177156133321516482010-10-08T07:44:22.470-07:002010-10-08T07:44:22.470-07:00I was inspired to name my blog after part of a quo...I was inspired to name my blog after part of a quote from Watership Down.<br /><br />I find it inspiring for anyone dealing with challenges in the world. Here's the entire quote:<br /><br /><<i>All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies. And when they catch you, they will kill you.<br /><br />But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the Swift Warning.<br /><br />Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.<br /></i><br /><br />Watch this video and you'll see it fully in context. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDKyK3AKoV0Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
