Oi, achei teu blog pelo google tá bem interessante gostei desse post. Quando der dá uma passada pelo meu blog, é sobre camisetas personalizadas, mostra passo a passo como criar uma camiseta personalizada bem maneira. Até mais.
I agree with everything Rogrigo said EXCEPT the point about fascism in early 1920s Germany.
I understand where rodrigo is going with his comments, but I still do not see how real businesses can use second life. It seems like a risky area to put resources. As quickly as it was turned on, it could be turned off or replaced with a better product. Then as fast as your new virtual business was put up it disappears.
For those who do not speak Portuguese rodrigo is trying to sell you t-shirts.
"Oi, I found yours blog for google tá well interesting I liked this post. When to give gives passed for mine blog, is on personalized t-shirts, shows step by step as to create a well personalized t-shirt way. Until more."
I guess I just don't get the attraction. If I as a company believe Sencond Life is an opportunity for growth or marketing, certainly I am going to become a presence there. But I don't understand what attracks the players. I guess I like real people too much to "play" with fake ones.
This could be huge - If they turn virtual gaming into a subscription based service, it could be another major blow to Blockbuster. Advertising in Second Life will also be a major source of revenue.
