Headlines about virtual worlds just from the past week.
This week was about trimming the fat.
I decided to stop posting about the launching of every kid’s world. Frankly, there are so many now, I’ll only really bother with the occasional one that tells a wider story about the industry as a whole (see the Build-A-Bear article). [...]
Headlines about virtual worlds just from the past week.
Lots more video, which is good because it was a bit of a slow news week. The videos are, unfortunately, just on someone’s server rather than on a streaming service like YouTube or Blip.tv, and while that might not normally be a problem they are in the [...]

Week after week I’m blown away at how much fresh news there is out there relating to the practical applications of virtual spaces. Things are moving fast!

Headlines about virtual worlds just from the past week.
This is a big news week, partially because everybody waited until during the big conventions to make announcements. Lesson being: this is a rotten week to make an announcement guys. You get lost in the shuffle. Even the biggest announcements are dwarfed by the sheer volume.

At Clever Zebra we have a policy of experimentation. While we stick to tried and true systems for clients, we make sure to experiment with something new when running events like the vBusiness Expo. When you’re working with bleeding-edge technology, it only makes sense to test the limits at every opportunity.

Anne Laurent, a consultant with the Atlantic Media Company, sent this in. It’s a great on-the-ground look at a federal agency taking their first steps into the virtual world. This is a rare look at the struggles with bureaucracy, fighting preconceptions, surprise billing hurdles, and handling contracts - you know, the non-flashy stuff nobody covers [...]
