Got to say I have not exactly seen much of a splash for this launch, and I only picked this up on Tech Crunch Europe (full story here http://bit.ly/Twinity )
We’re looking at virtual worlds this in the context of business / tourism, but - as recruitment experiments on Second Life for example - you have to achieve critical mass in terms of users to make it work. If I was a betting man, I would invest in augmented reality-type plays rather than this.
