RightAsRain, you crazy nun, that isn't the metaverse--it's just the plain ol' Internet. We already HAVE a metaverse--it's alternatively called "Second Life". That's the problem with all these buzzword mercenary/evangelist-types: they insist on bringing in their own proprietary and increasingly lame-a$$ made-up words when we already have simpler words to use--like "Internet", for instance. It's not the metaverse. It's not Web 2.0. It's not the Long Tail, or the Semantic Web or any BS like that...it's just. The freakin'. Internet.
Seriously, you lot are like the exact opposite of Senator Ted Stevens' type--and just as bothersome.
