In late October there was a meeting in London called the Virtual Worlds Forum. Although a lot of what they talked about was, perhaps inevitably, Second Life they also had discussions about coming trends, events, and worlds.I'm not sure I want to imagine the forum, but one person's top 20 things for 2008, can be found in Tech Digest. For those of you who don't like reading about Second Life - the good news is that Second Life won't be the only virtual world we're talking about - the bad news is that there will more for us to talk about in a range of worlds!
The top three predictions, in case you don't want to see the whole list are:
- There will be loads of new worlds launched next year;
- Teen worlds are huge and will continue to be so;
- Big brand names still need to learn how to handle virtual worlds.
