I was thinking earlier this morning about Linden Lab's attempt to increase the retention rate for Second Life by making the interface in their Viewer 2.0 beta look more like a browser, the idea I guess being that browsers are popular or that people like browser interfaces or are familiar with them.
According to statements I've read, most people don't even know what a browser is.
People don't use browsers because they like browsers, they use browsers because browsers get them to the content on the web that they like. It's the porn and the gadget reviews and squirrel catapulting videos on YouTube that get people to use browsers.
Put porn, bootleg videos, and shopping sites in a Lotus 123 for DOS interface and people would use that.
