Yes, that's why I'm a proponent of returning to the older Help Island system.<br />The Community Gateway system was so gamed and so commercialised it was sad.Brindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722102008502506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932965894595294709.post-27112261560338069712011-04-09T06:56:26.208-07:002011-04-09T06:56:26.208-07:00I actually never got friended by an IWz mentor.

I've been there twice but when I'm there, I try to keep my sound off and try not to look at others. One time I saw a streaker, oh well. I can imagine how confused Baierr must've been.Lenoirrehttp://luz-in-darkness.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932965894595294709.post-9516288082023786592011-04-07T14:23:38.585-07:002011-04-07T14:23:38.585-07:00soror some day I'm sure I, along with so many ...soror some day I'm sure I, along with so many others, will complete our trans-world migration.<br /> <br />Thankfully Inz has and will grow beyound the point where, as in my case, one of the founders was there to personally meet me.<br /><br />Yes, T B M just doesn't seem to "get" that all successful worlds will be based on interpersonal relationships... just as the world where we sleep is. <br />I shop at a grocery store over 4 Kms from my house RL.<br />I have a personal relationship with those that work there. The store just a few hundred meters away I refuse to patronise.<br />Why? <br />I don't like the way they do business.<br /><br />Because so many of us really do have a love for virtual worlds and those we establish relationships with, it can be difficult to remember that first and foremost Secondlife is a business.<br />There seem to be two basic business models.<br />One wants to provide a satisfying experience for its customers... it searches for repeat business.<br />The other is just there for the quick money ala P.T. Barnum (theres a new fool born every minute.)Brindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722102008502506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932965894595294709.post-74164534045446044492011-04-07T12:28:24.069-07:002011-04-07T12:28:24.069-07:00Unfortunately the Bean Counters haven't really...Unfortunately the Bean Counters haven't really seen the relationship between real social life, i.e. how we treat new people, and 'social' media, which is, really, not social at all. So, while they will pay a large 5 figure salary to a Social Media Guru, they will not part with a penny in the world they created.<br />Migrating their efforts to FB is really a terrible admission that they have absolutely no idea what they are doing.<br />It is just like moving a very unsuccessful business to the busiest street in the town without improving the business first.<br />They could take a leaf out of IWz book, there you are met by a mentor and shown the ropes and friended..... how difficult can it be?sororNishihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385408562954387986noreply@blogger.com
