The new web-based profile is presented as if it's an added benefit for SL players, but it's not. Look at it - it's to promote SL. All the "join" links and the social netowrking links. It's just a marketing strategy. Who cares, or even wants to be searched online? A large part of the appeal of SL is anonymity.
Where are the "picks" and other tabs/sections that we used to have? What happened to the inworld profile? When I go to look at someone's profile, all I get is a plain white window of text, with none of the usual info like how long they have been in SL, relationship status, etc. It doesn't even look good. Give us back our old, actually useful inworld profile. Can't there be both? Why does one negate the other? Also, the feature to change your name seems to be gone. What the eff?
