AjaxLife used to be my lifeline until linden Labs killed that possibility – all I need is a PC-based chat interface. I can live without graphics for a couple of weeks at a time; but no contact at all makes my SL too expensive for what I get out of it.

I don’t see it. It’s like trying to cram a round peg into a square hole. It’s already an effort for a standalone viewer to run in the environment so what chance does a browser based version have? For it to even vaguely work, the browser based version will be highly restricted in its capabilities.

There have been so many attempts at doing a browser based virtual world by so many companies and almost without fail they’ve all failed.

I wish LL would stop going after the general populace and simply concentrate on the creative community instead. SL never was suitable for everyone. Most of the world either don’t get it or don’t see the point so why keep watering the environment down more and more in a vain effort to persuade them.

Make the place wonderful to creators, give them all the tools they need, keep them happy and help them produce awe inspiring content and others will follow.
