tom's presentation to the class was great in that we spoke to and met first hand one of the largest bloggers on the web. it was interesting to hear blogging from his point of view and hear about his beginnings in blogging on cnet news groups.
one of my favorite parts of the lecture was when he showed us a few of the websites that he gets his news from including FARK.COM which I thought was hilarious and read it on a daily basis now.
Aside from tom kyte, tomorrow I will be giving a presentation on Second Life. after spending a lot of time playing the game and becoming familiar with it, it is really impressive all that can be done in the game. With Dell Island, American Apparall Store, and millions of users, business, and services available there is so much to be done, learned, and profited on.
....i can't believe that in this day in age it is possible for one to profit off of a virtual reality. Sim city was one thing where users throughout the world had the ability to interact with each other and live together in another life. I was reading an article about Anshe Chung who was the first man to make $1,000,000 on Second Life. Check out the article from "Business Week"
let me know what you guys think about this new ability to make money in second life.

It is amazing how one can make so much money on his second life. I remember Sim city and though it was a new concept when it was introduced, I guess not any more...
Maybe someday people's second life becomes thier first life.
I enjoyed reading FARK.com too! Stephanie
