Thank you Gaia Online and multi-platform SIG participants!
On Monday May 5 Joe Hyrkin VP Sales and Business Development at Gaia Online presented at the Virtual World SIG.
Joe gave a look at the various features and special features of Gaia Online, and we were able to ask in-depth questions about integrating brands into the world. We were able to get up to speed quickly on the social nature of Gaia, its demographics, and how Gaia serves as a portal to other online content. Fascinating stuff! Gaia is by the numbers (average 100k concurrent users) one of the most vibrant web properties online.
This was our first multi-platform Virtual World SIG. My avatar Orange Montagne co-existed with Joe in Gaia, and we were joined by Dedric Mauriac, inside Gaia AND Second Life, while California Condor and others joined us in Second Life and on the video community ustream.tv where the video was streamed.
I want to personally thank everyone who showed up for this truly multi-platform virtual event -and if you missed it, well you really need to get real with your virtual presence.
See you next time on June 23 or on the MRO Show sometime soon.
