According to me (in my other blog –The 16th Minute):
The German marketing research agency Komjuniti surveyed 200 Second Life users and found:
- 72% of respondents expressed themselves as being disappointed with the activities of the companies in Second Life.
- Over a third of them were unaware of the branded presence.

- 7% consider that it has a positive influence on brand image and their future buying behaviour.
The buzz is definitely off the bloom.
