MPL Knight,
You are sooo right in what you state about the potential of this program.
Look at all the advertising done in chat programs & private message programs,
where the businesses saw all the users and wanted their product flashed in ads
in front of them. Not just billboards, altho those would be great, but those
other methods you mentioned, as well as how about making the AWMall a system
that was workable like ebay is? real products you could purchase online in a
real 3D mall on AW? or in worlds you create yourself in AW? In any case, I see a
great potential here for business, if the marketing is done right. Bringing in
the users would be the way to bring in business.
