I’m about 4 in SL now and I very much agree with these thoughts of yours. I think smaller neighborhoods in all worlds are better, and as we’ve grown larger, we’ve forgotten to meet and respect our neighbors.

Years ago, the majority of bloggers used their blogs as a tool to express opinion on topics from politics to news or as a place for intellectual exchange. Now blogging has become much more mainstream, with a huge number owning photo blogs.

But while the mainstream has grown in size, the specialist communities seem to have remained stable in size.

My take on this is that SL initially attracted mostly the nonconformists, but for the past 2 years has gone truly mainstream and attracted the.. uhm… mainstream :-)

Also they are called a bit tetched in the cabeza, but that’s just by me, probably. ;-)
