Summertime slowdown, appropriate place on the Gartner hype cycle or a real move out of the virtual worlds? You be the judge as Michael M, Matt and Steven discuss a couple of recent articles that observe that there is a real/perceived slowdown in 3D Internet virtual worlds traffic. These hoopy froods continue the episode recorded on 3 Aug with an ecologically friendly print solution and a roundup of old and new filesharing services.
