Most of SL’s users do not build sims, design or manage land. They use SL as a glorified chat room – the most advanced, detailed, customizable chat room ever. The first virtual world that manages to take us past the chat room, past the emoticons and pre-loaded animations, will make buckets and boatloads. Even a primative facial recognition program for a web cam, applied as real time animation to an SL avatar, would take the program leaps and bounds over its current state of maddening chat windows and tinny voices.
