Following up on yesterday's post, here's a link to Daniel Terdiman's interview with the Video Game Venture Capital interview, in which he's asked ten (actually 11) questions about entrepreneurship in SL. Despite usage of the word 'disconnect' as a noun, there are things of value here to be had. Again and again, Daniel emphasizes hard work, talent, commitment, and having a plan. This flies in the face of what I'm sure the uneducated believe about building a business in SL -- that it's about having a big brand and just showing up. In fact, we've seen that happen repeatedly, and this is social Darwinism in action. I can vouch for the fact that those who work in SL do work very hard to keep afloat, but this is balanced against the sheer love of the platform. Is it all worth it in the end? Those of you who have a business in SL, I'd love to hear your answers!
