Oh the web we weave, now it is my task to learn the CTR, the CPM, keyword analysis, content drill down, CPC analysis and so on. Charts, graphs, campaign ROI.

Can any one explain to me how to master this!

Will MaxiWaxi live on forever by the fountain?

Posted by icm501 on October 23, 2006

As I read the enthralling Snow Crash, it came to me that my two avataars in the SL cannot ever be erased or killed in a fight. The Lindens have better algorithm than the metaverse where you could be shredded in a sword fight. “The Nipponese businessman lies on The Black Sun’s floor. Surprisingly (he looks so real when he’s in one peice), no flesh, no blood, or organs are visible throughthe new crossections that Hiro’s sword made through his body.”

Is there a way to not exist in the second life? MaxiWaxi is sitting by theĀ  fountain in Rome in a meditative pose for the pastĀ  month contemplating her existence in both worlds.
