Anybody care to comment why the Croquet Project doesn't have more mindshare? I realize that the "best" technology doesn't always win, but if we really want to move to a massive multi-user virtual world without the threat of centralized control, seems to me we should be investing more effort in Croquet. Maybe I don't understand the issues well enough. I humbly request to be schooled.

Toward a free metaverse Posted Mar 27, 2008 11:45 UTC (Thu) by faassen (subscriber, #1676) [Link] Second Life is attractive because of content. Second Life actually is something you can log into and for all it faults, it works, and has a vibrant culture. It offers a whole host of content-creation tools. It also has a lot of content creators who create content and either sell it or give it away. You have subcultures creating anything from virtual architecture, virtual fashion and streamed in live music. The content makes the system way more attractive than Croquet. How would I go about actually logging into a Croquet environment? Can I find anyone there to talk to? Does it look nice? Could someone, say, get a virtual house and buy virtual fashion?
