Small Shops on the Feed
One of the great things about watching the metaverse.jp portal is that you can still see the small shops that are out in the world. With classification and search exploits, changes, and quirks, it is hard to find random content in Second Life. Given the desire everyone has to restrict their land, and the sheer volume of space now in use, it is difficult to wander in person even!
So it's nice to be able to look at the feed and see anyone who has put up an advertisement.
I went to *koek* when I saw this slmame post on the feed.
I love seeing what people create when they know how to use the building tools, but have not tried to gear a bigger store for mass-appeal. There are cookie-headphones, a skybox based on what I have to assume is a Japanese music video, and a set of video-game console themed furniture!
It's ironic that as the platform becomes more developed, it's harder to find the small shops, but the portal aggregation makes it possible still.
