Last Minute Productions

E Commerce Times has an interesting article on virtual currency and a breakdown of a few of the major centers of this budding market (see source link). It provides interesting fodder for speculation on the future — where we’ll be in five or ten years? Will the virtual marketplace have become a major economic sector? An official model is already in place with Linden Dollars and the LindeX Exchange and gold farming in World of Warcraft is a booming (if somewhat dubious) industry. It seems only natural that the world economy will evolve and adapt to new technology and, ergo, new ways to make a profit. Who knows — The next generation of e-commerce students might just be studying the ‘Second Life L$ market crash of 2011′ and the following depression amongst Second Life entrepreneurs (many of which were forced to sell their superfluous organs to keep their subscriptions paid for).
