Business Model
Use of ViOS was completely free to end-users. The company's business model was based on the desire for owners of already present outlying sites to relocate their site's representation to “better” locations within ViOS in order to gain traffic to those sites (traffic that was driven by seeded sites and that was measurable within the system). In this way, the economics of location and commercial density could be transitioned to the online ViOS world because of its representation of a physical space. Private individuals and businesses could easily publish to unique locations in the ViOS world by leasing locations and constructing custom objects at those locations.

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or model:
“The war is dreadful. It is the business of the artist to follow it home to the heart of the individual fighters—not to talk in armies and nations and numbers—but to track it home.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
