Hi Bonnie I don't necessarily go there to be with others - right now I am sitting in my sky-box office doing some work - no one around, and it's all good :) I imagine others do the same - both solitary and collective activity...

Those seem somewhat different to me. -- Bonnie On Nov 14, 2006, at 11:43 AM, Jeremy Hunsinger wrote:

hmmm, i would argue the opposite. I would say the SL interface, the avatarian embodiment, the world physics with walking, flying and related activities all constitute an overall shared activity. But what do you mean by overall shared activity? On Nov 14, 2006, at 2:00 PM, Mark Bell wrote:
