ThinkBalmWonderland has "so much great momentum," with three companies selling products tied to the project and eight others pushing services for building worlds, the blog adds
Oracle's move dovetails with Monday's announcement that virtual world provider Forterra Systems had sold its product line to Sciences Applications International Corporation (SAIC), said Erica Driver, principal of the analyst firm ThinkBalm Combined, the events represent evidence of "the necessary churn that has to take place" in the space, she said There's no telling whether Project Wonderland will gain another corporate sponsor, although the fact that it is based on a language as pervasive as Java doesn't hurt, Driver said Alternatively, there's already a precedent for a successful open source virtual world platform, in the form of OpenSim, she said
