Business in Virtual Worlds News Roundup - Nov 02-09 2008

Headlines about virtual worlds just from the past week.
Question: should this weekly post become a podcast? What about a weekly video podcast? Post a comment or drop me an email, let me know if you’d listen.
Lots of stuff this week. I probably could have trimmed the fat a bit, but I have to admit that [...]

James Surowiecki: The moment when social media became the ne

http://www.ted.com James Surowiecki pinpoints the moment when social media became an equal player in the world of news-gathering: the 2005 tsunami, when YouTube video, blogs, IMs and txts carried the news — and preserved moving personal stories from the tragedy.

Business in Virtual Worlds News Roundup - Oct 13-19 2008

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). [...]

Business in Virtual Worlds News Roundup - Sept 29 - Oct 5 2008

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!
This is the sixth week I’ve done this and it’s becoming an essential part of my life. There’s pretty much no [...]

Business in Virtual Worlds News Roundup - Sept 8-14 2008

Headlines about virtual worlds just from the past week.
I have to admit that there’s a lot of non-news news here. If you’ve been following things from one week to the next many of these stories simply read as “more of the same”.
So I’m going to violate the #1 rule of web 2.0 and advise [...]

Business in Virtual Worlds News Roundup - Sept 1-7 2008

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.
Believe it [...]

Business in Virtual Worlds News Roundup - Aug 25-31 2008

Headlines about virtual worlds just from the past week.
This is week three and I’m a day late. Sorry about that folks - long weekend up here. Turns out it’s a pretty slow newsweek - shortest one of these yet I think.
Also this week I’ve begun to include stuff that is seriously old news but is [...]

Business in Virtual Worlds News Roundup - Aug 18-24 2008

Headlines about virtual worlds just from the past week.
This is the second week that I’m giving it a shot. Last week was a real long list, and this one is even longer, so I’ve attempted some rough categorizing.
This time I decided to include some stories that go a little further afield, including stories about marketing, [...]
