Yesterday’s Business Week had an exhaustive report on the overall metaverse space.¬† Here’s a link to the main article (more on this later) .¬† More amusing perhaps are the companion pieces called “Big Spenders of Second Life” and the “Virtual World Rich List“.

Anyhow, I’m quoted (when asked whether Second Life is a good environment for luxury brands), that everyone in Second Life is a luxury buyer — there aren’t any hobos in Second Life.¬† Just wanted to make sure I clear this one up before the resident hobos come after me — there ARE hobos and they rock.¬† Below is Orhalla Zander, creator of the hobo village in SL. (aka Orhalla Millionsofus).¬† Anyway, all love and respect to the SL hobos.
