I tried using second life once to see what the hype was all about. My computer could barely process the graphics, the avatar creation process was tedious and there really wasnt anything to do once i got there. i would much rather see a brand spend time learning how to communicate with twitter, blogging, etc, than set up a virtual world.

To me anyway, virtual worlds are as much of the audience than they are for it. Would have been a better strategy to start from the ground up based on experience than to try and keep refining the existing UX based on what works in eastern cultures.
