A World’s Fair for VWs in SL?

May 8th, 2007

There’s something that almost seems self-defeating about it. :) Basically, a guy is trying to set up a showcase area, a “World’s Fair” thing, for virtual worlds, in Second Life. A booth for WoW, a booth for EVE, and so on. Read about it on his blog.

Some of the biases and assumptions present in the project are certainly visible:

For each virtual world, a legal counseling service will be offered to open a business, to advertise, to start a commercial or cultural project.

I have trouble seeing those sorts of projects in WoW. :)

On the other hand, the YouTube based festival of virtual world travel videos seems like a nice touch.
