Nothing moves. You can't make anything, affect anything, go anywhere else once you're in a room (leaving the room is the equivalent of logging off). Your avatar's appearance comes from a tiny file folder of possible options. It barely functions, and represents absolutely zero threat to Linden Lab. They should call it “Deathly”. Nothing moves.

After spending about 20 minutes trying to figure out the 'joining room...' problem I got lucky and was actually logged in on a third try. I then proceeded to a room with a pool and spent the next 10 minutes trying to move from one end of the lag-infested room to the other using the ridiculous movement system (once I actually discovered HOW you move) only to find no place to get in, much less block it. The main feature of this room is a pool that eats up half the space and you can't even get in. By that point my frustration and exasperation were enough that I had the strong urge to flood the place with screaming spengbab cubes and never return. Except you can't just make objects there. Great. At least it does seem to have LL alert again. Maybe we can get something done. I tried Lively a while back.

At the end of the day embedding 3d into 'flat' pages only has value in the here and now..surely the future is a truly '3d' cyberspace not 3d embedded into pages..

It's worked so well for the music industry after all. Nobody copies music any more and nobody hates the corporations that have dragged children and grandparents through the courts because they couldn't be bothered trying to sell people what they want in a way they want. Stop calling for Linden to make Zunes and start helping them make iPods. “a broken digital right management system that fails to protect content creators”
