Someone sent me a mail telling me my posts in "packaging AW" should be out
from a little more:

My biggest isssue with AW for many years now, I have been a member since 98,
has been its lackluster (emphasis on 'lack') approach to marketing. I have
seen small cells of reviews in like a couple of PC games magazines, sure
they had their big "boost' from Juno.
But they have not put enough resource into marketing this product. And why
not? I cannot see why ( an explanation from someone in the know would be
great).

I have with my exprerience in world building approached a couple of large
companies (Universal) with initiatives based on the AW software. They didnt
have a clue what this was. They didnt have a clue anything like this
existed, and they didnt want to have anything to do with it cause it was to
"new" of a technology to "take a chance".

"Too new"? "To take a chance?" I was a user in AW when some of the cits were
still weening off their mothers teats.

Some marketing needs to be added to this software in order for it to
survive, word of mouth, is NOT enough.

I meant to ad. Lately I had been researching the competition: Worlds 3D .com

Have you people seen this crap?? Aerosmith, David Bowie, Hanson, and other
entities have paid big bucks to these people to make worlds for them, and
the quality of Worlds.com makes the CY avatar look like Aki Ross from Final
Fantasy.

I was appaled and flabbergasted when I saw what they had to offer and then
thought, "My God, some of the worlds largest entertainers got suckered into
something vastly pathetic, when AW is ten times more capable of creating
quality products."

AW.Corp, post a listing for a Marketing rep, and I can get you some turn
around before you can blink.

Amen, I also have recently checked out worldschat, and I was amazed at the low
quality of graphics, and how laggy the whole darn thign is. Only ONE thing I saw
in it that made me drool. They have working virutal mirrors folx, if those got
added to AW then worlds wouldn't even have that leg to stand on anymore.
