Executive Summary

Virtual worlds have recently emerged as a new opportunity for users to interact and marketers to communicate. Second Life, one of the most widely known worlds, experienced an influx of marketers in 2006 looking for new ways to engage with potential customers. The key benefit so far: public relations.

But for now, virtual worlds aren't quite ready to meet the demands and expectations of marketers.
