I've never thought people would use Vitural World for Business purpose. I feel that's just not serious enough. I have video conferences almost every day at work with people in our other office all over the world, but still, I feel that face to face commuication is better. Maybe I'm a little out-dated, I find it hard to accept that "The company's Enterprise tool will let employees' avatars -- animated alter egos -- meet in virtual worlds" as described in Going to the virtual office in Second Life by Mark Tutton.
Also, I'm not a person who believe in Vitural world. I feel it's just an escape from reality, and it's addictive, it waster you time, energy and money. "About 70,000 Therebucks on There.com, or 10,000 Lindens in Second Life, each about $40, can buy a choice of simulated wares, from several pairs of thigh-high boots to a plot of land" as described on No Budget, No Boundaries: It’s the Real You written by Ruth La Ferla. After all, you still need to face reality. So, I feel it's ok that some people just relax in the bitural world for a little bit, but it's not worth to become a habit.
