PR Junkie says " Virtual worlds will never catch on"

Never? With...

• eight-year olds using virtual worlds like Whyville, BuildaBearVille, and WebKinz
• teens using virtual worlds for fun and gaming
• students using virtual worlds for classes (even college classes)
• businesses and governments using virtual worlds for meetings, trade shows, and training

...virtual worlds are not going away. We're still learning how to use them. Therefore, I'm not concerned about organizations that jump in and fail. I bet they learned from the experience and will do better the next time.

One thing is for sure, virtual worlds will continue to improve and change. What we see now is a foretaste of the worlds (and uses) that will come.
