"User-created content takes the idea of leveraging player opinions a step further by allowing them to effectively prototype new ideas and features. Developers can then measure which new concepts most improve the products and incorporate them into the game in future patches."

The most important quote for me was:
"4. the site must be fundamentally unstructured, which allows people to be intellectual and curious. Second Life is magically unstructured, like a park, and therefore users can create their own relationships with it."

This article has been slashdotted also (and the majority of comments even with my threshhold set at 2 convinces me more than ever that /. readers aren't very bright).

SlashBACKers aren't very bright. Those who read and avoid the comments are a different story. :-)
