Some things are pretty amateurish, so there is a real opportunity to showcase there. Reuters are not bad, except the news isn’t real news.

It’s my understanding the Wells Fargo is doing their own thing through SL. They have what’s called Stagecoach Island where they help teach financial freedom to younger audiences but the island itself, although built in SL, is not accessible by real SL’ers. You have to download the software specifically from Wells.

I believe this is a poor decision on WF’s part. Segmenting their island from the rest of the world doesn’t allow Wells to understand how SL’ers would want to utilize their island. Ashame really.
