Chance for Advertising in Virtual World

This article brings to light some things that the previous article did not. It talks about the money that is being dumped into the virtual worlds such as Second Life. Let me just say something that just came to my mind. The fact that this virtual world is called "Second Life" really bothers me. Is life really to much to handle that we need to create a fake one where all goes as we want it to. What does that teach us? NOTHING!!! Now maybe I am wrong about these virtual worlds but it seems to me that if we are so dedicated to creating these worlds and starting fake companies or organizations in these worlds that we should be focusing more on our own realities. Anyway, the fact remains that this virtual world is opening the doors to new and creative ways for companies to advertise and market ideas. This has some of the big money or top dogs really starting to pay attention. It will be very interesting to see what happens to these virtual worlds and the amounts of money that will surely be invested into them.
