]]> Comment on Communicating by voice in Second Life by Argent http://virtualgreg.spill-label.org/2008/05/30/communicating-by-voice-in-second-life/comment-page-1/#comment-46 Argent Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:02:27 +0000 http://virtualgreg.spill-label.org/?p=13#comment-46 I find that text supports group coordination MUCH better than voice, because with voice so much of the work of group coordination gets wasted on making sure that people aren't talking over each other, or aren't being indefinitely deferred by more vocal people. With text, you naturally output at a lower rate.... but your output can be easily organized and integrated into a document that is read at a much higher bandwidth than you can hear. So each person generates less output than they can accept as input... which is exactly what you want in a group situation.

Last year I visited again and had dinner on Haight. There were a lot of stoned kids hanging around and begging - it was quite depressing and didn't feel really safe. But the food was excellent.
