Second life - maybe not for corporations

From this article, it appears companies are leaving second life because they do not appear to be able to generate revenue from it. I for one think that the only people who will profit from second life are Linden Labs and the people who can convince others that they need virtual goods. This can only last so long before a better or free virtual universe takes over. Or better yet when people realize there is a real world to play in with real people to hang out with.
