Anti-social networking?

So the new Second Life web-profiles went live earlier today, after a shorter-than-Linden-usual beta period.  They’re a definite improvement on the previous in-world profiles but I’m not sure they serve much purpose for the wider world web.  Who’s going to want to visit my web-profile if they’re not already in Second Life?  Maybe if there was a way to IM people who are currently in SL using their web-profile page but that doesn’t seem to work, it just tries to launch your Second Life client.  If you leave a message on their web-profile they get sent a notification, so I guess that’s quasi-useful.  However, if anyone ever does want to visit mine it’s here, enjoy!

POST-SOUND: Brian Eno’s back, this time with vocals, not always his own…
