Spotlight; No thanks; I can see what it is already; all the corporate sims will be listed and a few resident projects sprinkled in to keep it “fair”. No thanks, tell your corporate clients to !@# me.Cat Cotton from the LL blog tonight.
I want to make one thing perfectly clear for those of you unfamiliar with where my heart is in SL. My heart is and always has been with those of you just starting out and struggling to make it in Second Life. I have spent the past 4 years trying to help new ppl have a little bit of a leg up. I do this without thanks and I expect none. What I do however expect is a fair playing field. I am not nieve enough to think that money does not talk. However when I see such blatent bullshit I really have to say something.
Spotlight who exactly?
For shits and grins I clicked on the official link of what Linden Lab dreamed up as a great example page for their "Spotlight" search function.
Hot Spots:
* Reuters
* HealthInfo Island
* Weather Channel Island
* Greenie Invasion!
* H&R Block Island
* Capitol Hill
* Privateer Space
* CSI:NY
* Abbots Aerodome
* Visit Mexico
Yeah right, cus when I think of online entertainment I automatically think of politics, taxes, the news about the war, the weather and heath information. What the hell is that shit? Well I will tell you what the hell that shit is. It is simply Linden Labs way of marketing their corporate estate owners. Ya notice a couple of us regular ppl mixed into the bunch for the "fairness" factor. Oh please I would bet money the new CEO M Linden had a hand in this one or some at Linden Lab is a real ass kisser trying to make brownie points with M Linden. Given the fact that M Linden ran a digital ad agency I for one am not suprized by this lastest move. I am however repulsed by the idea that some blind players lets call them sheep are being led down this path and Linden Lab thinks we are too stupid or unconcious to realize we are all being lead to slaughter.
Linden Lab is gearing up to sell us out to corporations willing to invest in their 3dweb. Don't buy into it folks or SL will be nothing more than a clever ad ment to sell you anything they can. My responce?
