African or European?

Not when you're in London  But I thought geographical location didn't matter all that much with the internet.Who told you that? Al Gore? _____________________

Wait... do I have to link all my avatars? What if I don't want my SL friends finding out that I am Leroy Jenkins on WoW? Only you see that they are the same account. I had to manually link my SL and BM accounts (I friended myself). |

Perhaps Wallace should have announced THIS instead of suggesting we all will be revealing our real life information in SL. This may have bufferred that suggestion somewhat. That's for sure!!! I suppose what he was *hoping* was that we'd all say, "Oh, I wish there was something like Facebook where we could sign up with our avatar names..." and then they'd say, "Now there is!" |

They're very slow at sending out the email confirmation thingy. I got mine right away. |

/me confesses to not really reading M's blog or the stuff at their website.
We're all happy that they're not going to give out RL emails or datamine and all that? Or at least as happy as we would be with giving that info to LL? _____________________

Considering some of the comments related to the Wallace blog, I think that Avatars Untied being a product of Enemy Unknown is kinda cute.

For those with multiple VW accounts...in the "My Avatars" page you can check "hide ties to alter egos" on each account if you want to pretend you don't have a WOW addiction.

LOL! In my friend request to M, I suggested that "Uniting" with him was a little intimate for our passing acquaintance. He hasn't accepted yet! I noticed M has been there over a year. Wallace joined an hour ago. |

This looks like an interesting development - I wonder how much of it will be accessible from in-world. One thing that strikes me is that since Avatars United covers several virtual worlds and games, LL will now have a minor and arm's length involvement with worlds other than SL.

What I am puzzling over is how all of this relates to Wallace's blog post. If the idea was to "pave the way" for THIS announcement, then this might have been done, one would think, without calling down the actual shitstorm that developed. In any case, the whole thing was NOT well handled . . .
Still waiting for my confirmation, btw. I can hardly WAIT to be "united" with people! As Jig will happily tell you, it's been a long time for me . . .  _____________________

Join the queue! I am still waiting for mine as well. I wonder if anyone at LL gave AU any warning about the timing of their announcement. I am visualizing a bunch of swedish people running around trying to put out the fires in their servers while others are desperately trying to connect more. _____________________

Like I said, it sounds like a good idea for people who want to use it, I'm not interested myself, but it is curious that once again,LL seems more concerned with doing stuff outside of SL rather than improving conditions inside of SL. _____________________

And one more step in the direction that I've maintained for at least 3 years.......LL is trying to invent a new internet. A 3d based internet with LL the center of the universe. A lot of things make sense when seen in that light. |

It's hard not to conclude that the blog post was not a nasty misstep. Certainly, to look at the effects, it didn't do LL any good. M. says lag is next!! Or, in the pipeline, anyway! We'll find out when Wallace posts a philosophical rambling about lag, quantum mechanics, and do we really NEED to move, anyway?  _____________________
