It's desolate, dirty and deserted: is anyone still using Second Life? From this author's perspective, even if the site is still making money, the edge is gone. "Three years on, and the hype has been extinguished. Second Life has seen its status as the web wonderchild supplanted by Facebook and Twitter. The newspapers have forgotten about it, the Reuters correspondent has long since cleared his virtual desk, and you can walk confidently around tech trade shows without a ponytailed 'Web 2.0 Consultant' offering to put your company on the Second Life map for the price of a company car."
