Interview with David Holloway of The Metaverse Journal

What’s the business case for a company researching and even investing human/financial resources in Second Life or other virtual worlds?

Does the potential upside outweigh the risk?

What will peers - or shareholders - have to say about executives who argue for more engagement with the metaverse?

This interview with David Holloway, Editor-in-Chief of The Metaverse Journal, touches directly or indirectly on these and related questions. Of course, in the space of a 30 minute or so interview it does not provide all the answers. But it does provide some context and illustrations for a sensible discussion on the subject.

In Metaverse Journal Partners With Enterprise 2.0 Thinkfest on my deswalsh.com site, I’ve posted summary notes of the interview and some comments, and a couple of pictures, including one of David Holloway.

    Great show, Des. I think this has some good, measured coverage of what corporates are doing, and can expect to be doing in these kinds of environments. Enjoyed it a lot.
