LamdaMoo sounds like a Sorority...And to me thats lame sauce...

Besides the name causing me to gag a little on some bile that came up my throat because of my distate for greek life. However once reading the articles this week and the intro to what LambdaMoo actually is, the need to throw up subsided. LambdaMoo is a wird concept to say the least in a cultural that is driven by the visual stimulation of technology. It is a cyber cultural that is all in text. There are different rooms that you can venture into and people you can convers with all thru text thought not through a cyber avatar or visual representation.

To me this was a draw back but also a unique factor. On of my many loves in life is conversation. For instance the first conversation to me is gold. People dont have a filter and are real and true in their speech. Many times I can tell the personality of a person and if I am compatible with them in the conversation. So to me LambdaMoo relying so much on just conversation and no visual stimulation is refreshing. This was echoed in Kevin Kelly's "What Technology Wants: Technology Trajectories" when he stated that "Our role as humans, at least form the time being, is to coax technology along the paths that it naturally wants to go." This spoke to because technology is developing so rapidly and is so complicated maybe it just wants to be simple and elegant conversation in black and white.

So in review LambdaMoo is a completely text driven world that takes entering codes to move locations. It is a place of conversation and community. So if you are in need of conversation it up LambdaMOO!!!!
