I know. I really do not post much on this account, but I have been around. I rezzed just after they got rid of last names. I was hoping that if they could see something that is working, is what we want, and is a competitior of sorts, that maybe it would kick them in the butt a bit. lol. I have participated this travesty for a long time as well. I saw some good things come from Ebbe but I wonder if he really knows how bad the Marketplace is. Ruby on Rails was one of those "cool" web trends that came and went. In reality, like any other programming language, it has strengths and weaknesses - but because it was a "fad," programmers were usiing it for everything. Honestly, they should really contract out the web site to a company that specializes in ecommerce, and get the dang thing right. Finally. Now is the time. If they plan on continuing the use of Lindens in their 2.0 thingy, they should do it now.

The viewer-managed Marketplace is a good start, but after this rollout is over, you need to take a serious look at the marketplace website itself. Right now, the Kitely Market is leaps and bounds better in speed and interface design than what we have here. Variations: In Kitely, I do not need to list each color of an item individually. It has a variation feature within the listing, so I don't need to make a separate listing for each color of shoe (e.g.) I sell. Related Items: Instead of having to choose related items individually, I can "group" items in the Kitely market and it creates the related listings for me. Right now, the SL maketplace is so tedious that I dread listing anything on it. Take a look at what they have done over there and see for yourself the potential of a properly run marketplace.

IMO they need to update the Linden Homes themselves. The design looks great, but it really shows the age of the linden home's design.

My very first twitter post was about the forum spam. I am glad it is getting addressed.

Try updating your graphics driver. That's a bug that plagued ATI users about a year ago. SL is worth it. However, because it is a user generated world, it taxes computers a bit. A nice side effect of this is you will learn a lot about your computer in the process. lol.
