Reply to comment by dotnetcowboy in The Metaverse Is Failing, But It Is One Investment That Will Not Die by BiscuitOfGinger
There was an odd period of interest for second life… lasting a week or two. A handful of companies announced that they were “moving in.” I think CNN had a virtual town hall. Retailers were exploring virtual shops.
It didn’t go well. I distinctly remember a live news cast interrupted by an obscenely modeled furry.
It’s almost like nobody had used second life before announcing that they were embracing it.

Yeah, Second Life was the first promise of the metaverse circa 2008. Except back then everyone compared it to Snow Crash instead of Ready Player One.
