Back from the Holidays.

Here we go, back to work. I am seeing a lot of good potential for the SL economy this coming year. User rates are rising. The problem we will continue to face is a lack of sincere honesty and regulation in the markets with a Linden Lab nervous about playing Global Cop after a couple of courtroom fiascoes. I continue to expect that land will stay a relatively flat market with land providers continuing to up supply with the rising user rate. The great concern is will it out-pace the rate of user acquisition where the users can be valid participants in the land market. What does this mean? Well, basically we need more users with money wanting to buy land and merchandise. I look at SL as virtual tourism, if you don't have the flow, you don't have the dough.

Merry Christmas.

I will be notably absent until approximately the 28th, at which point I'll probably begin a review of VSTEX ipos.

Here's wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas. Peace on Earth, good will to all. Make sure you remember the true reason for the season does not come with a bow. Hold your family close, keep them warm, and count your gifts from God which will vastly outnumber any quantity of packages any person could purchase. (Especially if you include each star or grain of sand in that count.)
