My virtual model

Fashion in Second Life is, and will be, a huge hit.
In Real Life, I give fashion some importance, but not too much. I never spend 300 euros on a pair of shoes, or a thousand and beyond for a suit.

And after that, you have to tell me what you think of it.

I personally think that this is EARLY STAGE: real money (actual money) will come, sooner or later, and those who start first will have […]

How much is Second Life worth? 2,180 millions USD!

SECOND LIFE IS WORTH 2,180 million USD.
Here is why.

First of all, I don’t take speculations into account and, apart from that, 5 billions USD is waaaay too much, even for Second Life.
Metaverse Millionaires, such as Anshe Chung (her company AnsheChung.com, and her […]

Bmighty: start your Business’ Second Life

I’ve catched this interesting article, about how Second Life can be good for your business.
I don’t agree that the scope is limited to “products that are hard to show off in person”, since there are other cheaper alternatives for that (flash and quicktime, anyone?).
Despite that, the article is well balanced, and offers some interesting insights. […]
