Been there, done that! Give me something that will let me IM with residents inside SL and I might be a little more excited. If I want to know who’s online, I’ll just frigging log in. What’s the point of knowing who’s online or sharing LMs if you’re not in-world, anyway? Geesh.
Did you see the other features we offer? Displaying the online status is just one thing our app can do. The real power lies in being able to place your sl friends names beside their rl names… which effectively enhances the social networking element SL is now lacking… give it ago, this is just phase I, we plan on rolling out new features soon!
Cheers
