7 Ways Croquet is Better than Second Life

Recently I posted an article questioning the usefulness of Second Life in education, to which I received mixed feedback. Last week I had the opportunity to see Dr. Julian Lombardi and Dr. Marilyn Lombardi of Duke University demonstrate a open-source peer-to-peer virtual world application called Croquet. Croquet is basically Second Life, but much more.

This article looks at 7 ways Croquet is better than Second Life. I also explore some of the con's of this alternative virtual world and some questions I still have.  Enjoy!
