gojiyo.com Virtual world as most would know isn’t a new concept. Secondlife which is run by Lindenlabs has been around since mid 2003. Infact since gojiyo.com then it has had many competitors as well like Entropia Universe, IMVU, There, Active Worlds and Kaneva. India has always lagged behind when it came to virtual world adoption and the reasons range from the basic issue of bandwidth to the lack of concentrated effort by any international player to penetrate the Indian markets.
Secondlife recently published data on its 2009 performance and growth of the Secondlife economy here. Unlike facebook and twitter Secondlife doesn’t command lakhs of users in India. This means that on its own a virtual world concept hasn’t taken off in India. It will be interesting to see the monies being put and approach being taken for gojiyo.com by Godrej. At the outset the setting created by them does look interesting. Check below:
