A minor question of nomenclature

I really wish people would stop describing Second Life as a "game." Second Life is a framework to provide content in, which involves some gamey aspects (moving your little man about, altering the appearance of said little man) which probably help Linden Labs keep the boat afloat.

However, it is really more of a content provision and hosting service with good branding than a "game." VRML wasn't a "game" either.
