Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. -Lao Tsu
This morning I had an enlightening chat with SL entrepreneur, Mark Coffee, who has gone into the taxi dispatch business. After buying a Terra Taxi, Mark rezzed several copies of it, assigned pilots, and sent them out. “It pays more than camping,” he said.
Instead of eating up server resources, away-from-keyboard, for endless hours while parked in a camping chair, these pilots are now earning their way by providing fun tours and rides for a small fee.
You might ask why you’d need a taxi when we all have point-to-point teleport. The answer is… Why not? It’s fun! Hail a cab and take a tour. It doesn’t cost much, you’ll see beautiful builds you may have missed before, and you get to meet interesting people along the way.
If you want to get your own taxi, drop by my shop in the northwest corner of Abbotts (click here).
