Seems like the inworld tools are merely being brought up to speed with the tools that people use in all IM clients. I don’t see how making myself “invisible” inworld is any different from me setting myself as “away” in my AIM client when I need to really focus on something. A very useful feature that everyone uses in IM every day! And Joannah’s comparison of private island visibility to the visibility of any registered real life domain name is a great point.

who cares if some project was meant to be a in secret development before opening up to public, Estate still have control on who can have access to the sim or even set a group only. Also, just place a mega-prim in the sky to cover the whole sim if you don’t want people to see the sim from the map.

Not a big deal. If it is to you, get over it, ya hopeless-social retard ape.

I would like to take this opportunity to state, as I have elsewhere, that I will be snubbing no one and avoiding no one.

I want my friends and customers to know that whenever they see me as offline, it is because I actually AM offline.

“This is completely against the Internet’s paradigm and a short-sighted fix to a problem. How will companies be able to keep their presence secret before a launch? What about organizations who simply don’t want their presence known?”

Same way it works for ‘the Internet’s paradigm’ i.e. keeping access closed to external visitors? It’s no different from registering domain(s) after all — even if you know someone picked up the name, as long as you get nothing when you try to connect to it, this knowledge is good for squat. Save maybe for speculations what is/will be done with it.

Hiro, that’s stupid. How else can you tell if a server is fulled so you don’t keep bothering to teleport, or how else can somebody out for an evening’s entertainment find the green dots signifying a popular event?

This is one of your funniest pieces, Pixeleen! I love the image of those Lindens bailing water on the sinking ship.

I think in part they don’t mind showing off islands because they want people not only to see how many of them, but just how many have been purchased by Big Businesses, such that Anshe’s announcement that she has 550 of them is somehow dwarfed at the concept of the Lindens’ developer friends having *more*, in the collective if not in the individual.

Of course, we’ll have to see if *seeing* an island also enables you to see its name and find out its owner.

Just as I was thinking we’d finally get to see those special hidden islands that all our special friends visit and don’t tell us about (but we can see if we map them) — WHOOPS we won’t have that mappability on them anymore unless we’re special, too!

Removing the green dots from the map would be a more effective approach. They don’t really indicate anything valuable unless you are looking at a small region.
