  • Metaverse defined as 3D3C – 3D, Community, Creation, Commerce #
  • From Metanomics guest: http://www.dryesha.com and http://www.metaverse-labs.com #
  • SL is the "gopher" of the metaverse, have a long way to go, but will be a huge opportunity for aging populations #
  • Also will be great equalizer, can have a girlfriend in India and an assistant in Africa #
  • Keep in mind it took 10 years for Google to emerge after TCP/IP and DNS #
  • To be a true Metaverse it must have a high level of 4 things: controllable 3D environment, can walk, can interact #
  • Community, system tools to communicate and connect with others #
  • Creation, not web 2.0, but ppl can actually BUILD stuff, unleashes creativity #
  • Commerce, KEY factor for true metaverse, real money structured into the system. #
  • WoW generates 1.5billion for Blizzard, but is it metaverse? 3D yes, Community, Yes, the last two no. #
  • @GwynethLlewelyn I spent a couple hours in Kaneva yesterday.. ugh. Not impressed. #
  • HiPiHi perhaps constrained by China’s regulatory environment #

  • Virtual goods to the metaverse is like advertising to the internet. #
  • Advertising is paying for the innovation of the internet, as virtual goods will fuel the metaverse. #
  • @wporter I think you’re right, but the virtual goods angle is interesting too. #
  • Calling my federal reps about the FCC changes and FISA legislation. Things are completely out of hand. #
  • @deanpence FCC is set to hold a meeting tomorrow to allow even MORE media consolidation #
  • @deanpence and Senate is debating expanded FISA powers bill, both of which are horrific, IMNSHO. #
  • @deanpence Check out CSPAN coverage of FCC issue, looking for link now. #
  • @deanpence Can’t find it on CSPAN but here on YouTube: http://tinyurl.com/22lp8j #
  • I swear we’re watching democracy swirl the drain right in front of our faces. #
  • @ordinal I assume you mean other than right clicking and checking the object tab to see if the box is checked? #
  • @ericrice Haven’t been following all of the Arrington hoo-ha, but good call on your part. #
  • @ericrice But what’s a meaningful way to respond? Email Arrington and say "Hey dude, NOT COOL" ? #
  • @ericrice feels almost as worthless as the calls to my senators about FCC and FISA. Not very. #
