POPSKeep the marketing out... A professional organization I belong to had an impromtu meetup in Lively. Yes, unexpected guests arrived and my cartoon was kissed without permission. My cartoon was also invited to watch streaming web content of a "too polite to repeat here" subject. I had participated in the meetup with high hopes that Lively might be the place to hang out with professionals in a virtually social setting. Guess What? I like hanging out in virtual worlds because it is an escape from the barrage of marketing at me. I have to endure advertising and marketing messages on the radio, on TV, cable, satelite...the Internet is one huge bombardment of marketing messages. I want virtual worlds to be a respite from marketing. I want a place to have a 3d representation of myself where I can collaborate with others. My advice: KEEP YOUR MARKETING OUT OF VIRTUAL WORLDS.

POPSAnother Second Life resource... I am wondering where the market is for these services. If you have spent any amount of time in Second Life you will quickly realize everyone and their cousin is a consultant for Second Life. If you ask a consultant who their target is, they always want to bring in Big Corporate. My question is: Why? Are these consultants truly listening to their market? From what I am seeing, those interested in Second Life are there because they enjoy the environment. That is the fun of Second Life-getting in there and doing it yourself. My advice to Big Corporate: be very aware of intellectual property laws. Read Linden Research Labs fine print.

POPSBusiness presence in Virtual Worlds It appears to me virtual world inhabitants expect everything to be free. I have yet to see profit from direct sales as a result of a business' existence in a virtual world.

POPSSecond Life & Drexel University Online I think businesses and educational institutions should start shifting their attitude about Second Life/virtual worlds. Second Life has the potential to be a powerful tool.

POPSAffiliate Marketing.. I looked this up because I wanted to make sure I understood what "affiliate" marketing meant. I think the premise is if I am going to evangelize a product then making me an affiliate is a way for a company to reward me for it.
