Wow, a lot of good insight here.  To the topic at hand, I would hope we would end up with a mix of both players and advertisers. If you want to go say, Dell Island, you could. Or if you wanted to stay in your favorite RP sim/Island/Casino/Shopping Mall/etc, you could. I don't think you'll ever see LL take away everyone's land and give it all to corporations. As long as you own the land, you set the rules. |

The Second Life platform is ALL our worlds and I have been here too, since Nov 2005 when we had around 95,000 residents. Live and let live thats what I say. I agree though that a large corporation taking lots of computer resource should be on a private sim to prevent unfair resource hogging though, mainland should in general be more for people and SL business. People can choose where to travel just like they can in rl No disrespect intended Regards John |

From: Pie Psaltery I don't need to jump to conclusions sweetie, I am only commenting on what I've witnessed over the last 3 years of being involved in SL and paying LL for the privilege of participating in thier little Web 2.0 marketing experiement.
I didn't come here for the ads or the free virtual Toyota. But I will wander off because of them, much the way I flip the channel when I hear the Head-On commercial again, even if I do come back to the program that had the bad taste to play that commercial AGAIN.
I don't want ads, I don't want a virtual Toyota, and I don't want RL corporations here 'coz hey, you know, I get enough of that crap IRL. What I'd hoped for here was a virtual enviroment where creativity and free expression were the goals. I dont need a press release to know I've been 'given the finger' and had 'My World, My Imagination' handed over to the corporate scum-bags, I can feel it up my bum just fine. I have been here just as long as you. I have seen the same changes that you have. I, however, still see SL as was it was meant to be. It can be "Your World, Your Imagination" Get an island. Get a plot on the mainland. Build whatever you want. I have a nice little skybox that I will just goto and do what I want. I see no ads, I see what I have build around me. I see SL in the same light as the web. If I want to go to the web and look at Pontiac, I goto the Pontiac website. If I what to see a budding writer's work, I will read their web page. Just because some use it for a way that doesn't fit you idealist view does not mean the entire platform is going that was. If you look in SL you can find anything.

From: Pie Psaltery Which sucks.
With so many other potentials to thier little platform, LL has taken the cheap whore way out. As a working girl, I resent being compared to corporate sell outs. ;P |
