2015 BIZ: PROMO: DigiWorldz lets customers promote their places on its welcome sim

DigiWorldz lets customers promote their places 
on its welcome sim 
A commercial grid depends on its customers for its income.  It needs to have a plan to promote these customers.  Here is one such plan: Let all customers have a small promotional area in the welcome sim, where new people first arrive if they have not selected a specific destination in the grid.
New people arrive here
  • The builds here are by customers of the DigiWorldz.
  • The builds tell about each region and provide walkin TPs to the region.
  • The empty parcels await builders.
  • Many of the builds are still under construction.
  • DigiWorldz Google+ Community

DigiWorldz welcome center 

  • Firestorm Hop, paste in nav bar of Firestorm, enter.
  • hop://login.digiworldz.com:8002:welcome

2015 PEOPLE: EDU: Public service instruction in virtual worlds: Unofficial 3D ADA Toolkit

Public service instruction in virtual worlds:  
Unofficial 3D ADA Toolkit
(Americans with Disabilities Act)
State and local governments have obligations under the ADA.  You want them to meet those obligations.  You want the people affected by government actions to know those obligations, so they can hold governments responsible.   You tell people with disabilities what their rights are under the ADA, and how they put any issues to the governments.  You can use virtual worlds to do that.

Dream Creation, business model: 
Art park, sandboxes, instruction, contests, shops
Art park.  Sandboxes.  Hold contests  of content creation.  Shops to sell into that traffic.  Does it work?  I don't know.  But it is a better business plan than "If you build it, they will come."
