It’s not just virtual worlds, but Disney predicts to have one billion dollars in revenue this 2008 year, up from the 700 million for last 2007 year.

You know my story, right? I will probably be hired by Amazon.com, thanks to a Luxembourg Virtual Job Fair to which I attended in last november. That was great!

I couldn’t believe it, but this is the quintessential of any virtual world, for businesses. You have to watch it.
And after that, you have to tell me what you think of it.
