Frustrated with trying to find things with Second Life’s less-than-efficient search engine? (Hah, who isn’t?)
Fear not, help is on the way!
Chao Mu wants to make your search results more accurate, detailed and reliable. His Tao Yellow Pages (TYP) firm is about to introduce a service that will make finding what you want in SL a rewarding experience.
The primary focus of the Tao Yellow Pages project is an ‘information island’ where posted business ads and event announcements can be viewed by SL residents. Also planned is a HUD with built-in search capabilities so you can search the TYP database from anywhere in SL. A third phase of the project involves the creation of a web-based advertising system that directly links with SL.
TYP promises to deliver far more information and search refinements than the SL search engine. Who wouldn’t welcome such an improvement? SL’s search engine is the shame of Linden Labs. Well, one of them.
A Q&A seminar / presentation will be held on Friday July 27, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM SL time. You can have a tour and a “first look” at the facility, and have your questions answered at that time.
For more information, contact Valerie Rosewood TYP Marketing Director, or Chao Mu (CEO and lead director of the TYP). Mr. Mu is available for interviews with the SL media.
At this writing, the Tao Yellow Pages is in the process of an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the World Stock Exchange (WSE) – WSE Ticker: TYP. For their WSE listing and Prospectus, check out: http://www.wselive.com/research/prospectus/301
