True, and I agree. But I would think that no matter when in that cycle an increase in sales occurred, early rather than later, or, if in this case, if it came from sources other than where he intended, you have to say great. I’m gettin the message out in one channel while seeing a sales bump in another. That’s thebest of both worlds. (No pun, ;-p).

I think what Raz was mostly getting at is AA’s focus right now. Revenue is not their primary goal: exposure, visibility, word of mouth are among the things that are.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see AA connecting their SL presence more directly with their real world presence. Sooner rather than later.

“It could go that way, but I’m not sure that a buying experience in SL connected to RL is ideal.”

So if I get what was actually being said, Raz wouldn’t prefer RL revenue, even if it came as a result of SL efforts? I realize the SL environment is more of an effort to build branding awareness, but that’s one helluva business model if you can refuse offline RL sales.

Anyone else find it odd to supplant the WOM experience of a satisfied customer and an actual RL purchase with the perception of an online presence?

I wish I could have attended that discussion! I was busy and doing other things at the time. What looks especially neat to me, from the photos anyway, is how the seating is arranged: sort of a semi-circle with a panel at the front. I haven’t seen many “panels” per se in SL: most of the time, it’s a single or maybe two hosts up at the front. Kinda odd that way… but refreshing.

Wow, Mitch, that’s really something. We’re going to see some very interesting, imaginative and creative ideas at play in Second Life. Can’t wait!

Jeremy and Neville,

I actually attended BloggerCon this weekend… in Second Life. I was over at Podcasting.com’s area in Second Life and Avatar Koz Farina, had somehow managed to grab the live feed from BloggerCon. The full streaming audio was playing live as were images from the event that were posted in Flickr. I sat near the Podcasting.com Burning Man homage with 3-5 other Avatars and listened as we chatted about the event.

Another mind-blowing experience in Second Life that I will certainly Blog about today over at my Twist Image Blog.

I’ve read many of the posts about BloggerCon, Jeremy. Some interesting discussions.

Now imagine if a virtual version of BloggerCon had been taking place in parallel in Second Life… Even just one session such as the one you took part in…
