Virutal Worlds 2007

If you happen to be in the virtual worlds business, you shouldn't miss next week's Virtual Worlds conference which is taking place in San Jose.

As you probably know the virtual worlds arena is "exploding" these days and alongside the growth and acceptance of online worlds such as Second Life, Habbo Hotel and more, there is room for mobile solutions - whether in the form of simple SMS services for virtual worlds (And there are a lot of those already in Second Life) or in the form of a complete virtual mobile world, and everything in between.

So if you're interested about the fusion of Mobile and Virtual worlds, the conference is certainly going to be a good place to explore it, as it features speakers from key players in the industry, some already doing several things in the area.

For example, Sulake's Mini Friday is an interesting mobile virtual world. It started as an experiment, as Sulake defined it, but crossed the 100,000 registered users last month, after less than a year of activity (And a rather narrow support base for various handsets).

There are several senior speakers from Sulake as well as from other mobile companies such as MoiPal, and it's also interesting to hear what do the companies that still don't have any mobile solution plan in the near future.

You can find the full list of speakers and sessions in the conference site. See you there!
