From Daniel Terdiman's much quoted report
At least $5 million in deals were reportedly struck at the Virtual Worlds 2007 conference here this week.
According to Second Life Herald writer Prokofy Neva, a "very knowledgeable and highly-placed (conference) source," when pushed, said there had been $5 million in deals "initiated and signed" during the two days of panels and networking.
