Send to email | Virtual Worlds Getting Ready To Explode [Virtual Worlds] in AnalysisforecastsNewsPCSecond Life | By Mike Fahey el 04-Jun-2008 | Sure, laugh when I tell you that I spent the better part of last night DJing a virtual wedding in Second Life, but the next wedding I DJ could be yours.

"Despite a multitude of challenges, virtual worlds present a unique marketing opportunity to target a highly sought demographic, and virtual worlds should be part of a company's marketing portfolio," according to Harvey Cohen, President of Strategy Analytics.
