There’s a Harvard Business School team working on a study about virtual worlds for their classes, and they’re looking for help from YOU!

We are students at The Harvard Business School studying virtual worlds for our Entrepreneurial Marketing class. We are very interested in interviewing a few people that are avid users of either Habbo Hotel or Second Life. We are hoping to conduct 45 minute to 1 hour interviews over the phone if possible. It may also be possible for us to conduct the interview over an instant messenger service, but we would prefer to do the interview over the phone. If anyone is interested and would be willing to spend an hour with us we can send them a $50 gift card of their choice after completing the interview. Please contact our team: [email protected]

I know we have SLers here… any Habbos hanging around? And hey, if you are in either community, why not repost this to some community forums?

Looks like I will be on Talk of the Nation on NPR tomorrow, for a segment on games, gaming culture, the gaming business, the console transition, and so on. Lev Grossman will be another guest, and… I’m blanking on the other person.

This is neat; tired, I guess, of digging through all sorts of sources for research on their research target of choice, William Huber & the rest of the crew at The 6th Ministry have set up a blog specifically just about research in FFXI.
