=Do you see that conventional means of mass media advertising can translate into Second Life? Provide reasons why or why not? =

Yes i can see that conventional means of mass media advertising could be used in Second life. Since you can roam around the world i can imagine that there would be somesort of billboards starting to appear in this space advertising different things such as new clothes or movements for characters. Even though conventional means can be found some would seem like they would not work such as tv ads. even though you can buy a tv in the game i doubt people would want to have thier virtual selves watching tv as i would imagine that just being a waste of time. In my opinion i think that other means would be more effective in the game bringing new forms such as person to person advertising.
