Emergent Collective Reality: Say that three times fast
Posted by Clay Shirky
Edward Castronova,
Julian Dibbell,
Greg Lastowka and Dan Hunter, all of whom we've written about before, have started a weblog, called
TerraNova, which covers (duh) economics, sociology, and law in virtual worlds, or, as they describe their turf "... MMORPGs, toy worlds, social worlds, and other realms of emergent collective reality."
The last time this many people I love were in one place, I was getting married. Add this one to your RSS feed...
(Private to Ted, Julian, Dan and Greg: Take it from us, put the author name at the
top of the posts, or people will harass you til you do...)

TypePad is a marvelous tool for the HTML illiterate. It also doesn't allow links within comments or author names as headers. Bah.
As for marriage - if you wrote social software that imposed a (putative) lifetime commitment, then you'd have something. Not for Manhattanites, of course, but for somebody.

Actually, TypePad does allow you to turn HTML on in comments; it's in Configure-->Display Options-->Comment Options. By default, it has HTML off, and "autolink URLs" on (as does a standard MT install). That means if you type a URL into a comment in TypePad, it will automatically become a link. If you'd rather allow full HTML (which has some risks associated with it), you can change those options.
TypePad also allows you to go in and hand-edit templates, using the "Advanced Templates Set" option. This gives you access to the same template codes that standard MT installs offer. Using that, you could add the author names to the headers.
