We had a conversation going on a prior post about the intersection of Social Networking sites and Virtual Worlds (which subsume much of the functionality of current generation SNS' as well as add some other features). I came across this interview on Gamasutra with Raph Koster, the creator of a number of wildly popular MMOGs including Ultima Online (which consumed most of my late 20s and two or three girlfriends) where he discusses his new company Areae and their impending plans.
Speaking of SNS and Web2.0 (but I'm afraid no virtual worlds there), Ning is hosting Lunch2.0 on Thursday the 14th. Shameless plug.
