 Description  « Hide
With the opening of the New Dashboard and it's inclusion to Xstreet SL,

Having the Top Products feed on the dashboard, could affect SL economy
and also allows people to "game" the system, by using the prohibited
marketing scheme called "dumping" Reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy)

In order to avoid this, that in the end affects the whole population of second life, I propose 3 solutions:

1-Randomize the Xstreet SL Feed so everyone gets a fair chance to be in it.

  • using this it's valid to keep it because, LL nor Xstreet SL would seem parcialized towards giving something to people
    that use the dumping strategy.

2-Make the feeds using the already existing feed of new products
-This way new products and/or new merchants would get more exposure.

3-Removing the Feed from the dashboard.
-This is the worst solution, however it would not allow people to "play" with the system.

I would also like to see the ability to rmove those items from the dashboard we don't need or won't use including the videos etc. being forced to use the dashboard the least LL can do is make it flexible for us to have what we want showing, a bit like like iGoogle and as LL seem to be going the social network way on the website, flexibility on page widgets would be helpful.
