Sony's Playstation group GETs the social/conversational space in a way I never thought possible. - Eric Rice

Yeah, I remember when they first started the blog and got a little bit of mocking, but I'm impressed with how seriously they're taking the socnet stuff, not to mention how well they are doing it. - Daniel Andrlik
And it doesn't have that 'oh we're just doing it because we're supposed to' vibe that seems to be present in the so-called 'social' space. Look at those happy happy commenters, heh. - Eric Rice
Eric - are you looking forward to the sony home service.. that 2nd-life-esque thing that's been in development forever? - Phil Glockner
J.Phil: moderately... thing that I'm noticing now is how people are using things like GTA 4 Free mode as a virtual world.. it's a place to hang, relax, socialize, sometimes play/fight... There's some undiscovered territory yet that Home has to offer, and it might not even been from Home itself. (Also, I think the comparisons to SL do more harm than good, and also, not fully congruent.) - Eric Rice
BTW - sure, the comments are happy, but I wish I could compress all the single-word posts into one tokenized post.. like GZIP them or something. Sweet! x18 - Phil Glockner
Eric - I invoked SL because I couldn't clearly remember the name of the service but I knew what it looked similar to. I realize they have different goals and I've seen some ingame video which looks good. I know when I bought my PS3 home is what I wanted.. and I still want it. - Phil Glockner
Yeah the one thing I hear a LOT of and then, notice in myself, is the use of GTA's Free Mode (Multiplayer), as a place to 'unwind' after a day of work or more competitive gaming. Curious, that. - Eric Rice
