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

We can’t say it for sure, but I tell you my take on that:
SECOND LIFE IS WORTH 2,180 million USD.
Here is why.

Internal virtual worlds

Metaverses can be useful for big corporations, too: IBM says so.
I think that there is a big business in providing Virtual Worlds (Metaverses) to companies, expecially guaranteeing privacy and cryptography, so the company’s secrets are behind a tick wall.

Second Life Business in 2008? Check this out

As Reuters reports, Second Life enterpreneurs (can we call them SLenterpreneurs?), in an Electric Sheep event, say they are cautiously optimistic about 2008.
