I remember last year, logging on to a huge pink heart that looked like it was in the middle of the sim and the reflection was all over the land, for a while I was convinced we were being griefed! I then I realised we were !

:D

Finally.

Valentines day messages that cut to the heart of the issue: "Buy me stuff!"

/ I'm not bitter, but I play a bitter guy on TV
// No, I'm bitter. I have an obligation to be.

They seem to change occasionaly. The moon used to say "Private Island" and the sun used to say... um... "Will you be my uuid" or something like that.

LL really needs to let us 'Rent The Sun For A Day' for a moderate fee.
I'm just sayin'. And make the sun clickable for either URL or Landmark

Hey, with competition heating up in the MMOG world (I keep hearing rumors of a competitor to SL emerging this year, but can't confirm it), do LL's recent, somewhat desperate and crass guerilla marketing techniques really surprise anybody? It is a business, after all.

I can kinda confirm it. But I signed and NDA that only lets me drop really lame hints.

I'm working on a couple webpages about it. It's part of why I'm less active in SL.
I'd start a viral marketing campaign but someone needs to pay me first.

it's a joke - as in The Moon is a Private Island.
At least that's my reading.

Uh-oh. That means they already have their FIC. Guess they just lost a good marketing point ;) ;)

I'd prefer they let private island owners specify the images used for the sun/moon.

If a virtual world was good enough, would you know it was virtual?

I can neither confirm nor deny that we are on the 13th floor.

'Private island'? You think that's blatant advertising?
