Peh. Philistine :) Where were the animated genitalia and giant rabbits
holding business meetings? Where were the catgirls? :)

A little, but not too much.

The only links that work are the affiliate marketing ones - tshirt
sales and the google ads. The cafepress link was borked when I tried
it. Good concept, but I would have built the whole site and THEN used
it to sell the tshirts. Maybe a forum or blog for people to talk about
their first/Second Life balance. It is vaguely amusing now but they
could've done so much more with it. 2 stars/5.

PS: mine was the SL question. It is moving up the LH side of the bell
curve to the point where people are moving beyond the cool to the
useful. I wanted to know what work was being done on the corporate HQ
virtual navigation as an information structure, or words to that
effect.

Cheers, Andrew
