I believe we see the "why" for the semi-sudden dwell removal as it relates to inflation: Anticipation.

So, all you old hands quit bagging on the new peeps that come trying to "cash in" ;p http://www.businessweek.com/index.html The funny thing with SL and our Linden Labs Masters, is that you can make money in SL, but the lack luster economic policy of the King will make your profits vaporize into dust. Couple that with zero effort by LL to focus on tools needed in SL to facilitate business and profits. Regardless.. This is what I call a Good Looking Woman..    _____________________

Wow, thats some prime advertising, although the marketing theme is still "Make money playing SL." So, all you old hands quit bagging on the new peeps that come trying to "cash in" ;p http://www.businessweek.com/index.html Just for future references, its sort of SL tradition to post major articles in General since they normally cover the gamut; there's one that's been active in there. I disagree with this sentiment a bit, where I may have agreed in other articles... here's why: It hit me why I liked this article so much, while in the past, a lot of the ones focusing on making real money in Second Life have left me feeling somewhat empty. Its because rather than focusing only on "OMG, you can make real money!", they show it through simple narratives. Instead of having "money" be the star of the article, they chose to show how people have made money, or used SL for business purposes. Instead of creating an article where people might just join and expect to make easy money, BusinessWeek outlined several different people who have used Second Life for various business applications. This doesn't make it look like easy money, rather, it shows that you need to be innovative and that its not "easy money" - its actual work to distinguish yourself from the pack. Hopefully this kind of article will lead to more wonderfully creative minds joining us - even if they're interested in the business side of things. I think BusinessWeek did a much more in-depth look at things, and not just "zOMG the money!" Rob Hof is to be commended! Regards, -Flip _____________________

I have it saved to my hard drive If anyone wants to check this clip out: http://FetedInnerCore.com/CNBC/ It was featured on the CNBC show, "On the Money" - between two segments about booze and Internet pr0n, appropriately enough!

Opinion:
Indeed she is, and that is one glorious cover! Can't wait to read the piece, and I'm looking forward to many new customers in SL. (They are ALWAYS customers, until and even after they start their own businesses.) coco _____________________

The business week article is what got me interested in this Second Life and why I opened my account. My roommate too. At least n=2 that the power of visibility creates new customers.
