    Oh well....Marketplace's loss....is a gain for in-world shopping ! 
    :)

    Is it though ! It just annoys people and they don't bother.

     

    I've heard from several people on my Friends List returning to shopping in-world...due to Marketplace delivery issues.

    It's become a bit of a lottery....admittedly it such a small sample, but if that continues to be replicated...it might mean a gradual return to more in-world commerce. For many in-world Merchants it's come too late though!

    There are over 50 million Americans which traces back to German roots....in fact its the largest segment from all of the old countries in Europe....even more than English, Italian, Spanish, Irish, Dutch and French.

    Using the Category filters on the left hand side of the web-page, click through to Apparel>Womens'>Women's Footwear>Women's Boots.   At each stage in the process, you should see the entry in the Search In drop-down change to reflect the sub-category you are in, and any search you do for Keywords will be confined to that sub-category and its children.

    Yep, I understand what should happen.....but it doesn't. I get the 2nd tree "Apparel" .....as i go deeper, it goes back to the default of "All Categories"

    What i did notice though, and i can't do anything about it......when you track back the files using Windows explorer...it has shorten both folder name and user.fs file name......from "SL Marketplace search combobox extender"....to "sl_marketplace_search_co".....I think there lies the problem. In GreaseMonkey it's listed correctly....but not within the folders in Firefox files under " Documents & Settings" by user I get the shorten file names.

    I use twitter, flickr, facebook with pages, not with a profile and I'm not touching Google + with a bargepole until they allow people to post pages like Facebook do, without a personal profile.

    I have 3 Facebook accounts tied to 3 different email accounts (1 is my main SL Alt account) ...the other 2 are totally plucked out of the air.  Facebook don't have my true identity or my main email account.....same deal with Twitter

    Doomed Secondlife

    Linden Lab has a great resource for ideas & innovation.....it's existing customers!

    There are plenty of passionate SL'ers who want to see Second Life succeed and grow....myself included (lol-kind of hard to imagine when reading my posts attacking LL).

    Maybe it would be wise for LL to start tapping into that resource for workable ideas & solutions....instead of taking stabs in the dark, on what they might think will work for SL. (constantly trying to change it's identity or trying to attract different audiences e.g now it's Facebook)

    What abouth secondlife?

    And @ other Wasted fans - the trouble was his message was always the same and always spammed as widely as he could.  I supported him at first, but it became old very quickly.  Contrast to Prok, another forum legend.  I'm a great fan of hers, been a tenant of hers a few times, and respect her posts as being varied and reasoned.  :-) Quite often tl;dr but at least they have a point.

    I enjoy reading many of Proks posts too...but not all!  Love her or hate her...she does have a lot to say and many times she's has had very valid views which one could identify with. Thats' the beauty of the Internet ...it allows for diversity from one scale to another (Wasted Engineer to Prokofy Neva with everyhting else in between!)  :matte-motes-wink-tongue:

     

    PS Good post Latisha...that's the way i see it

    Ding dong the wicked SOPA is dead! (maybe)

    It's ironic that the U.S has slogans like the "land of the Free"....when in actual fact their citizen's civil liberties have eroded away over the last years, so much so....that's it's less "Free" than other Western democracies.

    the whole united thing is kind of a farce as well.I don't think you will ever find so many people in one place that are so divided..

    We're actually pretty darn united still when you compare us to a lot of places. From extremes like Sri Lanka where the majority Sinhala ethnicity waged a genocide against the Tamils for the last several decades, to lesser situations like actual separatist movements in the UK (Scotland) and Canada (Quebec).

    Americans may not like each other, but we're not yet to a stage of splitting of open violence; though the right-wing side has begun some isolated attacks (such as flying a plane into an IRS building and the shooting of a Congresswoman).

     

    I'm not talking about sections of the country going into rebellion...I meant about your individual rights & freedoms as a singular person with all this current wave of U.S legislation. How do you like your Patriot Act for example?

     

    N.B. Scotland have been wanting separate autonomy for 100's of years....it won't be a huge issue if they have their own Government...it might be better for both parties.

    Lots of inworld spots to do just not my thing at hte moment.

    Yep, but you asked for Advertising companies to help your exposure in-world......you don't need them for your above list. as one could easily perform those.

    Did you mean Advertising companies that will help identify the Regions of high traffic and where to best place your affiliate vendors or Advertising boards?

    Marketplace shouldn´t allow freebies or dollarbies anymore

    Agree kitte - a good many consumers. especially the new arrivals....don't understand the amount of RL manhours it takes to create some of these Second Life products.  Original adult skins in Photoshop can take hundreds of manhours before a whole series of options become available to SL public to purchase....and they wonder why they are priced accordingly.

    Ok one generates mass sales from the original artwork....but in this market, where cheap skins,. stolen skins and free skins are prevalant.....one has to weigh up if it's really worthwhile in the first instance. A few years ago it was certainly worthwhile.....nowadays if you're not a SL Brand name...I'm not so sure!
