Blackboard Vista Chat vs. Second Life Meeting

Although it is challenging to navigate in Second Life I believe it is better than meeting in the Blackboard Vista chat. For one is more entertaining and fun to be able to see different avatars, colors, sceneries, etc. In the Blackboard Vista chat is only words behind words. There is really nothing exciting about that. On both sides you can be comfortable in your pijamas while meeting in Second Life or chating in Blackboard Vista. Second Life is creative freedom, is educational, and it has plenty of beautiful art. I would prefer to meet in Second Life than in the Blackboard Vista chat rooms.
