You'll have to wait a few days to get your fashion fix from the quad. Canimal Zephyr, Ginny Talamasca, Elikapeka Tiramisu, and Starley Thereian recently announced that they have closed their islands for several days, citing personal reasons. The islands affected are Canimal, Dazzle, ETD Isle, and Celestial City.

The announcements all came in at the same time, so I hope that everything is okay. They have asked that you respect their decision. Come back to us soon, guys.

What do Casa del Shai, Wilted Rose, CKS Designs, Daphne Molinari, ETD, Immortelle, Kyoot Army, Last Call, Le Cadre, Nymphetamine, Punch Drunk, Refuge, SiniStyle, Straylight, and TRUTH have in common? They all own groups on one of the fastest growing services ever to hit SL. I cannot stress enough how this device will shape our virtual future.

MSo Lambert, of Synthetik, sought to fix a serious issue that affects all of us - the 25 group limit. Before Subscribe-o-Matic, residents had to choose which groups to leave on a weekly basis in order to make room for more important groups. Now they can just click to subscribe and go on with their business.

For business owners, this means so much more. They are able to see who their subscribers are, when they signed up, what location they signed up at, manage their messages, send notecards, items, and pictures, or just make a simple announcement. In just two short months, the subscriber base has grown to over 19,000!

MSo is continually making improvements upon the service. Some of the features in the works are HUDs that will let you manage your subscribed groups and messages, raising the subscriber limits for the price ranges, integration with third party products and vendors for group discounts and sales, and statistics for the group owners! For a complete listing of all of the customers, you can visit the directory. To find out more or get the system to try for free for 14 days, you can visit his store in Glenn.
