Wall Street Journal, July 17


Like I predicted a week ago (yeah I know, that’s lame :-)), the serious papers are picking up the discussion and development that was stirred by the launch of Google’s Lively and a couple of other web-based virtual world clients in the new media blogging scene. From the article: “The allure of the 3D Internet is easy to see. What auto maker would be content to put 2D pictures of a new SUV on its Web site when it can offer buyers a virtual, first-person drive down a snowy mountain road? What sculptor will want to display 2D photographs of her work when she can invite collectors on a guided tour of her virtual sculpture garden?”
