Second Life

I wonder what Neilsen and Loranger would think of Second Life. I like most of us went on this week and got completely lost. When you arrive at the tutorial island, a million things come at you at once. I ended up somewhere completely different and couldn't figure out how to get help, or maybe I just gave up on it. If the web does start to become more like second life in which people create avatars and walk around , there will be a whole new set of usability issues. Will websites even exist or will we have to walk in to stores and libraries to find the information we need?

Since the authors were mainly targeting strategies for e-commerce sites...it would be really interesting to see what they had to say about not only the design of the site...but the purpose of the site.

I think they would think it is not visually aesthetically pleasing enough for their eye because there is so much going on in the different worlds.
