One more quickie: What's up with the Second Life article, authored by a Linden Lab dude?? Advertisement-cum-scholarly-article? Good grief. Some of the background information was helpful to me, but this was worse than Weinberger's flowers and puppies!
(By the way, I haven't read anyone else's posts yet; I'm sure I'm not the only one to have commented on this.)
Addendum: Obviously Jane McGonigal is also writing about a game/project on which she worked directly, but her article foregrounds (and greatly benefits from) this personal involvement, unlike Ondrejka's article. I had never heard of I Love Bees, but I could have read about it all day. Fascinating!

Had I actually gotten a chance to post my reading response on time, and not AFTER class tonight, I totally would have used the puppies and flowers comparison for Ondrejka's authoring of the SL article. I'm glad someone else was able to make the connection for me - in a more timely manner :)
