why dont we have the Marketplace in-world, in the search window? it could be a tab, next to the Destination Guide. it shouldn't be difficult to apply, after all the search window is a web browser, so connecting the Marketplace as a page shoudln't be so difficult. what can be solved and how it can improve earnings: many software users download the software and forget about the website they download it from, some never come back, so the same thing with Second Life, they download the browser, learn to use it or get someone to help them, and they never come back to the Second Life website again, so they don't know about the the Marketplace, they wouldn't even know about the Destination Guide if it were only on the website, so many places would exist unnoticed or just by a few. same its happening with the products, they go unnoticed because many people don't return to the website, so merchants can reach only to the users that return, not many. if we would have the Marketplace tab in the search window, it would give a boost in sales to the merchants who sell their items there, imagine that you need a leather jacket soon, you can't leave where you are, you use the search window, type leather jacket, explore the Marketplace and you buy it and get it delivered right there. it would make search more functional. if you want to find, let's say, a victorian style sim, you dont have to go thru all the advertisement of products about victorian things, product selling would have its own section. if i want to buy i search on the Marketplace, the results in the main window displays an icon if the result is a place or group or person, a product could have its own icon, that way it could be separated as a marketplace item. Marketplace would reach a larger audience, everyone who uses search. i'm not saying that all in-world stores should dissapear, its very nice to have them there, some people prefer to walk to the store, look around, admire the building, and thats fine, is something like real life, some people like to go walk to a real life store to buy their things and some people prefer to buy things from a website. it will provide a great service for newbies, they are confused, they dont know places, so to change their look they would just have to type what they wish and get the items immediatly. i dont think is going to be a bad idea, we have Classifieds, that is another form of selling. do you think it would be a good idea having the a Marketplace tab in the search window?
