Second Life Is Offline

I have often compared second life to a rich chat room or rich IM client, but yesterday when the grid was down for god knows what reason and I had an important meeting scheduled at Trotsky's I didn't even consider moving the meeting to IM until someone else brought up the idea. It is not relevant that I could not get a room with the meeting guests set up or that the meeting was eventually conducted through email.

I guess that at this point I believe my own bullshit that second life is not just a chat.

Well, was there loss?  I doubt it.  Was I tired? well of course but on some level I reflected on the experience of the meeting and did not find an alternative.
