Bad News Week

One interesting thing that came out of SLCC was the revelation that it appears that Wired was not only trash-talking Second Life, but that the trash-talk was the goal and intent, quite independent of the realities.

Coca Cola's Mike Donnelly, Director of Global Interactive Marketing says that Wired's Frank Rose completely misrepresented his and Coca Cola's position on Second Life. It's a public dustup about lies and distortion in the media. Yummy.

A post about a post about other posts

It makes sense, really. Run it through, you'll see. The fantabulous Jacek Antonelli on her blog Jacek Lives has put together a well-thought-out post regarding the recent back-and-forth between Hamlet Au and Frank Rose regarding this article. Go read it for yourself, it's thorough and substantial. So much so that it prompted this response from Our Tateru:

Rose does hit a lot of truths, but seems to be very selective about which ones, and uses phrasing and terms with negative or disparaging loadings. "Created by an underfunded startup using a physics engine that's now years out of date, Second Life is made up of thousands of disconnected "regions"" - might be the stark truth. But it makes it sound far worse than it is. It's certainly not the whole truth. Maybe Rose's facts are more solid than Au suggests, but the selectivity of them borders on a bashing.

So what we have here is a comment on a post in a post about a post about other posts. I love it when things get hopelessly Meta.

(Thanks, Jace!)
