If one looks to early bloggers or early podcasters or whatever, the truth is that first users tend to get more traffic and attention. If you are a new blogger today, for example, the sad truth is that your ability to find a large audience is much decreased.

Oh no!

You mean Second Lifers aren’t going to get a chance to be manipulated and exploited by Big Business? No big corporations moving in to feed at the SL trough? No saturation advertising, targeted marketing, segment development, customer profiling, media takeovers? No muscling aside the little guy by underselling him, the custom designer and small retailer, like what’s happened in the real world? No WalMart-ing of the grid?

Oh boo hoo hoo! This is terrible!

And what’s the reason? Because Second Lifers like sex too much? Because we’re a wild and randy bunch who’d rather have fun than consume? For shame! For shame!

This is the best news SL could possibly have.

Once again, someone on their moral high horse having no clue to what this virtual world is about. I’ve seen this finger wagging before–or at least I’ve heard the sanctimonious sermon on high before.

As someone stated, if corporations had issues with ‘brothels’ Vegas and many other cash cows would be closed down.

Get real…that’s right, its not real, it’s the virtual world.

Another amazing development at SL.

Who would have thought about it becoming like a brothel? Actually, it is not a very fair statement.

The internet itself is one big virtual brothel!

“Corporations are failing just because they are entering Second Life with a real life approach instead of learning and adapt to the completely different enviroment. In other words they don’t know what the hell are doing!

That about sums it up. I have seen RL marketing companies bring big clients into Second Life and do the most ineffective marketing I can imagine. The American Apparel land and store, honestly, it sucked. The design was small, the look was bland and MOST of all the clothing was designed by someone who no idea at all in any shape or form how to design clothing. Any new player could have made any of that clothing in the first 10 min of playing. They failed because no one took the time to do it right. It’s that simple, if you want to throw money at Second Life than throw it in the right direction because RL marketing companies have no idea what they are doing in the game.

Amazing that SL is considered a brothel when those who have succeeded in supporting themselves full-time with their efforts do so by engaging in such elicit activities such as clothing creation, virtual real estate transactions, avatar creation, etc. Using the analogies provided by this blogger, one should assume the above highly esteemed morality-based retailers such as American Apparel would shun such RL locales such as Las Vegas or Atlantic City since some activities don’t meet the standards of Memorial Church on 1st Street.

The real reason Best Buy doesn’t make money in SL is because they haven’t figured it out yet. RL people are making RL money in SL — and so far, the difficulties of Wall Street succeeding in this virtual Wild West are because they have no real interest in it. They cannot win this game from the board room, and until they click on and sign up, they will continue to lose to the mom-and-pop shops that have already figured this market out.

“Maybe…just maybe Mr. John Pospisil would have found something more interesting to say if he had the time to be in-world for a while and see what’s really going on…which he obviously didn’t.”

He’d probably find it boring. As I have.
