I was thinking (and talking with Bel) about how the 'old' credit-card-less trial users more or less got to just watch the world without partaking in it.
I thought that what might be nice would be a virtual webcam. A webpage / java applet / download applet or something that would show some hot spots in SL at like 5 - 10 frames a second. There could be several (ie 5 - 10) and visitors could cycle through them. It would be a way to show casual drop ins to the site to see what is happening.
The resolution wouldn't be great I don't think.

Someone else had a similar idea Ama- I think it was charlie.. or Archanox.. not sure. They had an idea that trial users could kinda slide along a rail, but wouldnt be able to do anything, communicate, be seen, etc.. Im not quite sure what you mean but it sounds a little more plausible ;P It sure would get the trial users out of our hair.. but... No more free calling cards

These are great ideas - we've been thinking about something like this for a while - how much fun it could be.
Related marketing idea -
Our offices are near the ballpark here in San Francisco. During the World Series last year we had tons of people walking to the stadium and passing by our building. Thought it would be really cool to project the world on the building across the street. Ahhh, maybe one day.

well, our office entry is disguised as a hot dog cart. if you ask the vendor for a "dog with mayo," he'll wink knowingly and move the cart five feet to the right, exposing a manhole leading to our lair.

If you ask him for a dog with extra butter, he beats the crap out of you!
Just a friendly warning from someone who learned a valuable lesson the hard way.

Come to think of it, I would probably ask him for a dog with a leash and its vaccinations.  |

I can just picture Haney pretending to be a hotdog vendor and Daniel waiting just a few feet below desguised as a construction worker...
