The Melbourne Age has a piece on VWs (regn required: bugmenot suggests "obfuscator"/"whome"). For the life of me I can't really understand what the author is trying to say, and the whole thing is mostly incoherent; but these slight negatives aside, it does reference/cite Jools, Betsy, and this blog.
But what's niftiest for me is that this the main paper of my home town, and I grew up reading it. I've lost count of the number of pieces I've sent to them, only to receive a terse, editorially-precise, "Thank you very much for your proposed editorial. Unfortunately, you suck. We look forward to your next piece, which no doubt will suck also. We remain, yours etc etc"
On the plus side, they reference Betsy.
Whoa. Virtual worlds soup. Everybody's in there, including Habitat. :-P
I kept thinking, while I tried to read it: "Don't make me get out my spoon!"

Urgh, this hurts in terms both of good journalism and games research. Maybe, considering I am in the area, I should get a hold of the editor and give him a spoon? Or someone should send a better article to a competitor? (hint hint Dan)
Cheers
