Comments on: What’s The Size Of The Virtual Object Market? http://www.psynixis.com/blog/2007/06/23/whats-the-size-of-the-virtual-object-market/ Simon Brocklehurst's Technology Blog Sun, 23 Nov 2008 09:47:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Asam Bashir http://www.psynixis.com/blog/2007/06/23/whats-the-size-of-the-virtual-object-market/#comment-80096 Asam Bashir Sat, 23 Jun 2007 21:43:03 +0000 http://www.psynixis.com/blog/2007/06/23/whats-the-size-of-the-virtual-object-market/#comment-80096 It's a form of escapism with added spice that's there are other real minds behind the characters, can be like a game, though there is a huge scene of real graphic art being done and presented there. Was quite surprised though myself looking at their numbers and the Linden economy, approaching 8 million odd worldwide users. There obviously is a market, limited, but enough with added bonus that it becomes more addictive. I've been avoiding it, though have been a few times to listen to friends DJ and VJ out there.

Just like a CD full of music, the actual CD is worth pennies, its only when a microchip processes the digital information it becomes something to be enjoyed in an auditory way. Virtual objects are just a visual alternative. Virtual objects are something to purchased an enjoyed.

I've never understood the appeal of those kind of massively networked social 3-D graphics virtual environments. I first tried one of those in 1995/96. I thought it was totally lame. A decade later, I tried Second Life when it came out to see if things had improved since the days of 28.8K modems... to me, the answer was no. Still totally lame. I know lots of people like this stuff. I just don't get it though - it all seems so slow and clunky... and pointless! I’m don’t feel qualified to give a good opinion on Second Life.
