Kudos to LL for getting rid of the tainted Popular Places. I'm sure all the bot-infested land owners are annoyed, but the new Showcase does a great service to people interested in discovering some of the cool places inside Second Life.
It's true that some deserving places are not yet listed there, but I do think that it does a great job introducing people to some new places. Not everyone is "in the know" on all the hot spots -- many people only have a little bit of time to explore SL.
I should also point out that I discovered this blog because of Showcase! I LOVE your Greenies build - and will definitely have to check out the Black Swan area. I "googled" "Greenies" to see who was behind the build..you guys have done an amazing job in creating unique spaces in Second Life!
