In a nutshell - What is this about?

I created this blog for those who are interested on Internet Addiction and my request to Linden Lab to display a cautionary note mentioning Internet Addiction to the people signing in.

After all this time, this has become just a way to place this on the conversation. This is in a nutshell all I strive for.


Your liberty to read or leave its not denied on this space.


Virtual communities have enormous potential and will be part of many people's life's and work. So we need to take a thoughtful approach towards this. SL has an extraordinary pull and this phenomenon can result in dramatic damage to people who develop an addictive attachment to them.

  1. People joins in with no knowledge of this phenomenon
  2. Awareness of a danger helps reduce its potential harm
  3. Any tool to display this reality, might prevent those who read it

All ideas an opinions are welcome, posts with foul or offensive language might be deleted. Some information and videos might be disturbing for some people please be advised.

What has been LL's reaction to this?

To this day, no communication or interest has been acknowledged by LL. I believe they know about it, since I been told even on their inspirational book Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson, there are addicts and "toxic immersion" is resembled.

Even as LL might be perfectly aware of this situation, I believe they don't know what to do. And it is likely many of them perceive this as damaging to their business interests. Others might think this needs to be addressed or even that it has potential to turn into a good thing. It would not be strange that an internal struggle on this is happening. But no official action has been displayed in any form.
