good evening everyone...someone please correct me i am wrong...but here is what i think i have come to understand about the sfad mall...in the "near" future... this may be incorrect....it may be correct and i am the last to hear about it...i am not sure...but it sounds pretty good to me, if it is indeed the case of what we will become... i have had it explained to me that eventually there will be a virtual street that you can navigate...that you will be able to go to the virtual store of your choice, and literally walk around, virtually, inside that store as you browse from section to section...and visualize what selections that are there for you to choose from... i see this as rather unique, therefore worth waiting for... i have also been led to believe that sfad will have its own store, that they will own completely, and will be selling high end merchandise out of it as they own it... if i am not seeing these things correctly, please someone correct me... also merry christmas to you all...eagle

There is a big difference. The millionaire.com site is just a connection to a magazine called : 'Millionaire'. Ads from that magazine can be read on the hard copy or here on the net. There is no linkage and no profit being made if you buy any of the products other than by the advertiser. The advertiser in turn is told by the publisher that in addition to the hard copy magazine their ads can be reached by potentially millions(no pun intended) of people on the net. This is much like other magazines(Newsweek, Time, Money, Business Weekly, etc.) that have their own sites. SFAD will be a virtual mall with to my understanding products where they will be getting a % profit and/or direct linkage to businesses who will be paying them a 'rental' fee to be included in their mall. It is as if SFAD is a department store (cornerstone of most large malls e.g. Bloomingdales, Macy's, Nordstroms) with products to sell which it receives a share of the profits from. This same department store is the landlord of the mall and leases space to other stores to sell their products independent of it for a rental fee. Al
