San Murugesan recently e-mailed to let me know that the Cutter IT Journal has a special issue on the subject of virtual worlds. His introduction to that issue is here. A PDF of the entire issue can be acquired for free (with registration) here.
It is an interesting mix of articles. It covers the full spectrum of virtual worlds -- from games to kids worlds to Second Life. The articles present a balanced approach. In particular, they are generally positive, with caveats, about the future of the 3D Web and commerce. At the same time, they are fairly critical of the success of virtual worlds to date in living up to their initial promises.
I'd love to get some feedback on what people are thinking about Vzillion.
