This is a video that provides social marketing advice how to use Second Life.

There is more interesting stuff providing reasons to use Second Life as a media platform right here:

I agree with your previous post on the over hyping which had companies and countries in the flawed mindset of “build it & they will come.” Would you put up a building in real life and just expect people to go to it without proper staffing or events helping people get the most of what is being offered? I hope not.

Virtual Worlds are having a re-emergence as places to facilitate business as well to launch product and media.

As well, once it was a fad to have your deplomatic representation on Second Life – first one was opened by the Maledives that beat Sweden by a day or so … Today, countries have abandoned thier virtual consular representations pretty much….

Regardless of the above, however, I look forward to see this idea take off and your company making a splash.

I hope you agree that that Machinima – cinema done on machine – is something for a brand in the B2C field of business but less likely for a B2B venture. Am I wrong? Pls let me know.

Thanks

Virtual worlds will be very big in 2010 because they afford dynamic, real time interaction. AVATAR the Movie comes out in December, the iTunes trailer was the largest trailer download in its history. This sets the pace for 2010

So will Machinima – cinema done on machine, that is.

PookyMedia has been doing this and winning awards for it too. And the reaction on a business and entertainment front is stunning. We are building branded communities. Highly targeted, high concept and very cost-effective.

Thanks for the comment (flowers). I find your comment about sharing vs. competing interesting but do you see sharing between:

- company and its clients,
- between companies,
- both or
- some kind of other combination?

I see more sharing between professionals (or micro companies /self-employed individuals) on networks like LinkedIn or XING but between large companies in the same industry?

Thanks for sharing. I hope you will reply to this question providing me and the readers with an answer.

I think your blog/article is on the money.

The major shift I am seeing is all the social realms merging. I think the “connector” factor is going to be accelerated in 2010. Sharing vs. Competing
