About metaKIOSK

metaLIFE has made the KIOSK servers available for virtual product vendors to put their products into a database that make them available to a land owners who wants to have an “instant store”. The parcel owner can put down this KIOSK and choose to make products from the database available for sale and get a portion of the revenue. Custonmers no longer have to teleport to search for products, products are displayed on the KIOSK and the customer has the option to purchase directly from the KIOSK. Parcel Owners can make products available from the database without having to go buying and going through the tedious process of setting up their own stores. Vendors get a much wider audience of potential customers to buy their products by having the KIOSK located throughout the Second Life platform. All services are powered by metaLIFE search.
The tool is all about empowering and connecting by opening up, creating more interaction, distribution and communication for all residents of Second Life. Second Life residents, merchants, businesses, organizations and landowners will all benefit from utilizing this new technology. All residents will have the ability to search for anything they need in an easy and intuitive way via a stationary KIOSK. Merchants and businesses will be able to sell items in-world on the grid-wide network of metaKIOSKs. Organizations will have the ability to promote in-world locations via a network of metaKIOSKs and be able to spread awareness about their operations. Landowners will be able to profit by reselling content along with the ability to provide interactive applications and refer residents to metaLIFE for further passive income.
