However, the permalink is here: http://thisvirtuallife.blogspot.com/2006/09/avatars-and-body-language.html Great blog so far (and is it safe to say that you're totally cuuuute?) ;) I would’ve done a trackback, but I’m on blogger for my SL blog and it sucks.

The current model is flawed, which was my point. It needs to change to become more effective. Yes, I do believe there’s a solution, and that is to more intelligently assess what’s going on.

Do we force ourselves into busy mode as an indicator to others? I don't expect the new person to pick up on the visual cues right away, so I can't blame them for the way they feel. I will say that I typically lock on to an object with my camera. This prevents me from looking at others when they talk. I can't image that would help, though. I don't even acknowledge their existance. :) So is there a solution? Do we force ourselves into busy mode as an indicator to others?

Perhaps some users experience enough lag that it seems to be more of a thoughtful act, as though the other avatar saw our chat message, and then decided, hmmm, this person I want to ignore is talking to me, let me press a key that makes me look at them, so that they know I am ignoring them. More likely , though, we are just used to responding emotionally to the body language, and some of us stop there, without thinking of the technical underpinnings of SL.
