<p>I didn't have a chance to visit during the opening bash, but did walk/fly around a bit. Their theatre is still being built out, but the dance club and overall structure is up and worth a visit.</p>Hamlet Au commented on 'WEEKEND OPEN FORUM (Updated)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef00e008cc0bca88342007-06-24T20:09:08Z2007-08-23T04:55:28ZHamlet Auhttp://nwn.blogs.comGwyn, gotta SLURL handy for Bollywood?<p>Gwyn, gotta SLURL handy for Bollywood?</p>Dirk Singer commented on 'WEEKEND OPEN FORUM (Updated)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef00e009866b9288332007-06-24T18:06:20Z2007-08-23T07:19:03ZDirk Singerhttp://www.cowpr.comThere's obviously been some negative talk in the business press about the SL numbers, and brands (largely due to going...<p>There's obviously been some negative talk in the business press about the SL numbers, and brands (largely due to going about it the wrong way) failing to make a presence.</p>

<p>So...I'm wondering, what do other readers think SL will be like in 4 more years? What will be added, what lost?</p>
<p>I'm hardly six months old, so it's hard to speculate. I will say that if SL is around in four years, I will too. I never thought I'd live to see anything even remotely like Snowcrash's metaverse in my lifetime. I just hope RL doesn't start looking like its counterpart in that novel.</p>
