I also have never heard of Second Life until now. I am all for the virtual and 3D world becoming a bigger and more popular item in the web world. As one who really has a passion wants to pursue a 3D career, this excites me. But at the same time I wonder how long it will actually take for the popularity to rise. If it is something like a 3D social networking site, maybe it will pick up a bit faster. I went to Secondlife.com and was not too impressed with what I saw. The branding I feel needs some improvement. Like the article said, they have some heavy competition with what Video games are able to produce compared to that of web graphics.
Also, I have doubts on this article. Towards the end they say, “And Makena's Richardson also concedes that eventually there will need to be a shakeout. But he thinks that There.com will be left standing after it takes place.” So I went to go check out There.com and when I got to the website… There.com was closed. So who is to say how accurate this article really is with their predictions…..
