The Metanomics Season Highlights takes a close look at the topics and questions raised by guests during the fall 2009 season, which encompassed adoption rates, branding, privacy and identity as well as practical applications for virtual worlds being used today.
The Season Highlights document includes case studies and statistics on profit being made by companies around the world, money saved via virtual conferences and lives that have been changed by fundraising and counseling services.

From adoption rates to the importance of owning your brand, Metanomics’ continues to raise awareness of how virtual worlds are having a serious impact on our world.

This paper also delves into issues discussed by IBM engineers, the heads of Linden Lab (creators of Second Life™) and pioneers in social media, education, privacy and free speech. The common thread between all of Metanomics’ guests is the firm belief that virtual worlds will continue to have a deep impact and lasting impact on our work and lives.
