Interesting little article that basically states...

If you want a feeling of community -- go online.

http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3432801

The question begs to be answered, but I think I know the answer already.

Is SL a community, or is it a game?


For those of you looking for a marketing aspect of SL -- written in another thread -- just think what would happen to membership if SL were linked in the the new up-and-coming "social-based" software products.

Friendster, anyone?

You really don't want to turn SL into a 3D dating site do you? :eek:

Friendster isn't a dating site per se -- it's more of a "networking" community -- almost like "Seven Degrees to Kevin Bacon." :)

*sighs*

I've got all the toe jobs I can handle. I tell you, it's hard being the only SL pedicurist here, money is good, but damn, I do get tired of you men hollaring... "Hey bayyyybeee, how about getting on your knees and giving me a good ol' fashioned toe job?"

Seriously, think on the advertising side -- if the profiles in Friendster had SL in them... if the profiles in e-Bay had SL links in them...

Best free advertising you could get.
