The following comment did stick with me.
Context being the whole idea of "other lives/Sim's/Avatars/Gaming".
I've been posting about this and how I'm still a skeptic (or just "old").
But I find the dichotomy of mass vs personalized production interesting.
Being a "virtual world" the only cost seems to be one's time.
(any different than blogging ...???)
PC Forum: The paradox of choice | Between the Lines | ZDNet.com:
"Philip Rosedale of Linden Labs (Second Life) followed Schwartz and described how the digital environment of Second Life is more expression. You create things more than pick things. Most things are custom made and most users are custom makers. Esther asks–should Second Life outlaw mass production? Rosedale responded that the cost of goods near zero so less incentive to get to mass produced scale like a Starbucks. 'People are fascinated by the opportunity to create another life,' Rosedale said."
