DSN is live for 24 hours now and by now we have 60 subscriptions and 18 content creators who have signed up. Tonight the first significant batch of transactions was triggered – if I read the stats correctly 235 individual transactions from a content creator dropbox to a subscribed avatar. That is an amazing number, and the system has worked fairly flawless. Of course there were minor issues, but those were easiy to fix.
Right now the first reactions from residents and bloggers come in. Gabby Panacek of Couture Conundrum made a wonderful blogpost explaining the DSn concept in probably easier words than we did ourselves:
Remember, it takes all of us, working together to imagine, design, build and live our Second Lives…Designer Showcase Network gives us a tool to reach out to each other in a new way. Enjoy!
Isadora Graves of Izzy Chic claimes no less than witnessing SL History being made:
It is about time that something like DSN came out, and the concept is fairly yet brilliantly simple. A subscription-type system allows content creators to offer a particular item to residents who have chosen to sign up.

What a great way to network content creators AND resident subscribers in one, all-inclusive group. I believe the beauty is that a wide range of creators will have the opportunity to showcase their creations and have samples of their work reach a larger audience over time.

Wonderful idea and concept. I will love to see what creators will show me as a consumer I do spend on good creators but I would rather do it wisely in SL. This will enable me to make some good choices, being able to see content and decide to go to the store to make additional purchases. I do like freebies (everyone does, lol) but for me it is the quality and originality that inspires me to purchase and support the wonderful, original creativity here in SL. Thanks for creating this idea.
