Great comments from Prokofy

I don't have much time to write just minutes before our kick-off session, "Metanomics 101," but I wanted to make sure people had a link to an excellent commentary by Prokofy Neva on goals of this series, questions for upcoming speakers, and suggestions for additional speakers. Add this to the "must read" assignments.

My only response right now (more later) is to emphasize that this series is not just about Second Life, but will be far broader. We will be analyzing other virtual worlds, as well as ways that businesses and regulators are treating the metaverse, broadly defined: social networking platforms and collaboration tools, as well as virtual worlds. That may explain some of the speaker choices.

Also, our goal (as in many courses) is to start broad, and get narrower.

Finally, I definitely hope to have a top Linden on the list!
