Interesting democratisation of art and observer, art and interactor etc...And I'm also interested in the books in SL -- that is what inspired me to get in there. And, you'll love this, there are bots. I'm really looking forward to creating an inworld bot that has its own home you can visit...Mark, you'd appreciate that!

Such a move has interesting implications for other media forms (IF, bots, etc.).
