NPR: Not Particularly Relevant

Via Fleep

Why, look... it's everybody's favorite bean curd munchers trying to sound hip:

Yankee Group Research found that less than 2 percent of people it surveyed had ever even been in a virtual world. Compare that with 32 percent who'd visited online video-sharing sites like YouTube. Christopher Collins with Yankee Group says the problem with Second Life is it's a tethered experience.

Christopher Collins: You need to be sitting at your computer to use it. Our research shows that mainstream audiences increasingly want to be able to access all of their information through mobile devices.

*shrug* It's called a laptop, eh.

Yeah, I know. SL and LL isn't exactly WiFi-friendly.

Still works most of the time.

Just waiting for Yankee Group's report that people prefer adult diapers to using the toilet because the toilet "ties them down to a single location to perform bodily functions."
