You have <A href="http://www.disney.com">Disney</A> scooping up <A href="http://www.clubpenguin.com">Club Penguin</A> for <A href="http://www.virtualworldsnews.com/2007/08/disney-acquires.html">lots of millions</A>, newly-formed agencies cutting <A href="http://www.virtualworldsnews.com/2007/11/mtv-ford-models.html">major Brand gigs</A> and <A href="http://secondlife.reuters.com/stories/2007/10/11/omnicom-buys-stake-in-millions-of-us/">deals with some of the largest advertising networks</A>, and the number of participants who are aware of Virtual Worlds (or even have their own Avatars) seems to be climbing too.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.twistimage.com/blog/archives/second-life-heres-who-to-blame/index.html">Maybe it's not as hot as it was a couple of months ago. Maybe the PR play has dulled because all of the "firsts" in Virtual Worlds have been gobbled up by the mainstream media. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.twistimage.com/blog/archives/second-life-heres-who-to-blame/index.html">I think there is a clear blame on why virtual worlds and, more specifically, Second Life is failing to meet expectations.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.twistimage.com/blog/archives/second-life-heres-who-to-blame/index.html"><P>Technology is to blame for the lack of Second Life lustre.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.twistimage.com/blog/archives/second-life-heres-who-to-blame/index.html">So if the Internet connection, the hardware and the overall usability remain this complex, it can never be adopted by the masses.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.twistimage.com/blog/archives/second-life-heres-who-to-blame/index.html">take a look at <A href="http://www.webkinz.com">Webkinz</A>.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.twistimage.com/blog/archives/second-life-heres-who-to-blame/index.html">a huge part of its success</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.twistimage.com/blog/archives/second-life-heres-who-to-blame/index.html">it works on nearly every computer</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/77970CA9-A600-4DAD-94A1-77022563BC8A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
