Yet another article about Second Life. I wish AW got this much
press/media attention.

"Second Life Intrudes on First One"

Do the people who wrote that artical know about AW? I expect they probably
do, but If not, maybe you should introduce AW to them.

And what exactly would you introduce them to? If these people have never
heard of AW, they would see it as a cheap Second Life knock-off, since
AW doesn't have as many features or as much press. Even if you told them
that AW is over 8 years older than SL, their first impression would be
"has been".

In the land of publicity, first impressions are more important than age,
and since folks like SL and There.com have all this money to throw at
advertising and press releases, they can make themselves seem to be the
only shows in town. Until AWI steps up and actually tries to compete
with these outfits by advertising and continuously adding features in a
timely manner, AW will continue to play third fiddle in the "Virtual
Wars"...

That's true. It was just a thought.
I guess AWI is more comfortable just eking out a meager existence on the
income it gets from it's dwindling costomer base, then it is in advertiseing
their product in order to gain a larger customer base and a larger income.
It's really to bad that AWI treats their buisness more like it's a hobby.

When I first came to AW I was being told by most people that I was getting
in on the ground floor of something big. It turns out that it's getting
smaller by the day. To bad that AWI dosn't have the desire to take AW to
it's maximum potential. Instead they seem to be content to stand by and
watch as it fades into extinction.

If I had a credit card I would go check out the Second Life. It seems that
their band wagon is the one to jump on, to be taken into the future of
vertual life. It's a shame to, cause AW has so much potential that is being
wasted.
