From a news source: An unnamed senior consultant told the Times Online that companies &#8220;absolutely&#8221;  should be &#8220;experimenting in virtual worlds&#8221; to attract customers under 30 and were &#8220;ignoring them at their peril.&#8221; I agree: virtual worlds, and social networks, will be HUGE, and companies can&#8217;t ignore them NOW. Investing in them only when they become the most important thing in the world will be too late. What&#8217;s your take on this?
