The whole 'if you build it they will come' mentality doesn't work in sl.  It's just like 1994 again when companies were coming to grips with this new internet thing.  Many in the commenteriat back then wrote it off as a fad too (inhabited only by fanboys), in fact I remember one boldly declaring that 'nobody will make any money off the internet'.  History has proven just how wrong they were.  Same will happen with SL (or if LL don't get a clue, it's successor).  The rules for business have changed.  When the Wells Fargos and Aloft's work that out they'll be back.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">skribe Forti</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 20 Jun 2007 07:03:54 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
