Morning Reading: 11/6/06

Ian Delaney on Second Life.  I run hot and cold on Second Life, but I’m encouraged by the number of businesses that seem to be lining up to make it more than a game.  We won’t know what Second Life is for another year or so.

Kate Trgovac on the branding of Halloween costumes.  My kids were Wonder Woman, a rock star and a ninja.  I didn’t see a single ghost.

Kevin Hales went 15-0 in a recent Scrabble tournament.  As an NC State fan, he needs something to pass the time during football season. (Go Deacs!)

Nick Carr on the true nature of Web 2.0.  What started out as something interesting and collective has become just another “pre-owned cars” slogan aimed at our pocketbooks.  And on that note- I want to interview anyone who paid $375 for Tim O’Reilly’s latest essay out of their own pocket.
