[Air-L] Urban Word of the Day: collateral misinformation

[Andres Guadamuz]

Lindy,

I share your dislike for lazy journalists, but I don't see how what you 
describe relates to collateral misinformation.

By the way, not all SL critics haven't tried it. Could I be 
controversial and say that I do not like SL either? And yes, I have 
given it a fair try, but I simply cannot get past the clunky technology 
and the endless rendering lag.

Best Regards,

Andres
