My Mood: | The way realXtend is doing it is better, but I suppose it's a start. This way only works per-parcel. You can only have one website on per parcel and you only see the website if you're standing on it. Conversely the rex viewer will let you have multiple websites active that can be seen anywhere within your draw distance. |

XBOX Leaderboard: 18th | Well, it IS a start. The 200 people currently enjoying RealExtend can enjoy the better, newer, shinier web features, but the other million of us can finally render SOMETHING from the internet. |

| Joshua - the reason we went the parcel-way (instead of the every prim way like realXtend) is for griefing. it's easy to create a webpage that will crash mozilla. if a griefer could wear 1000 crashing webpages on his head - it would be a bad bad thing. K. |

Business: ANOmations Blog Entries: 16 XBOX Leaderboard: 21st | There is a happy median, such as only allowing prims of the land owner of the same parcel to be set to this. As it stands, it severely limits the usability of it. |

Well, ignore my comment after your post then. ![]() I understand the griefing angle but making it per parcel restrictive is... restrictive. It's not like serving up a quicktime movie, where only having one is not such a huge deal. I could cover the walls of my store in frequently asked questions with it set up the way realXtend is doing it. However it is a start, and a welcomed improvement on not being able to do it at all, even if I do raise an eyebrow at the timing. | |

| I think one application I can name off the top of my head would be allowing merchants to have a wiki console for information regarding their products without having the participant open a webpage. Information can be presented a little better than notecards, although in one specific location.. hm Not sure how many people SL in a window or how the web-on-a-prim works though, but if it's solid that's what I'd do. |

| exp(ln(Gearhead)) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | There's one more downside to being able to see so many pages. Bandwidth. If we can see many htmls on prims each of those take bandwidth from their site host to display even if the person isn't planning to read them. Each prim becomes a browser window. What we're going to see is wasted bandwidth climbing and people will wind up paying more for bandwitdh used. It's like streaming video and sound where each person watching a video opens a stream of that video. 10 people watching = 10 streams. While html is much lower in bandwidth needs it's still going to pile up sooner or later as the X-on-a-prim starts getting sophisticated. If this ever explodes you may see the death of free hosting. |

My Mood: | This feature that they've suddenly implemented has been disabled in the code base for nearly three years. However it's technically implemented is beyond me, but they could have activated this three years ago more or less, essentially, and did not. I don't know what relationship it has to Mozilla being hooked in for the profile websites and so forth, but they had the functionality three years ago. |
