Still Dabbling in Virtual Worlds

A good article on the status of doing business in virtual worlds. In a previous job I investigated the idea for a number of possible applications. No killer apps emerged. Although it drew the interest of many, especially employee gamers, it made many things harder than they should have been. IBM, who invested much in the idea, is discussed. Some companies, notably Cisco, still believe that we are only are only in a hiatus period, and virtual worlds will commonly be part of the future fabric of computing interfaces.
