The
2008 Virtual Worlds conference has come and gone, and the aftermath is gracing news sites all over the web. In a
particularly in-depth article at Virtual World News, we get a first hand account of what went on. It's a no-brainer that the majority of business attendees focused on how to make money in virtual worlds.
The Wall Street Journal calls this "virtual business 2.0", which is basically a few buzz words thrown together in an attempt to look hip and cool. We're certainly not saying that business has no place in a VW, but it can become a scary thought, ultimately.
Another prominent avenue explored at this event is that of children's virtual worlds, which are becoming increasingly popular.
Neopets,
Nickelodeon,
Barbie and
Dinokids were all on-hand to make sure their piece of the pie was well-represented.

Coincidence? I think not.
