AllFacebook: “Facing There” - A Virtual World Threat to Facebook?

I honestly don't think that virtual worlds are a threat at all. Virtual worlds like There and Second Life have peacefully coexisted with Facebook and MySpace for a number of years. I don't think that they really need to feel threatened by social networking sites. If anything, this type of integration, I think, would just drive more people to look at them as they see apps like Facing There on their friends' profiles. The social networking sites, in turn, could probably see a number of people that are friending each other on the site due to a connection they made in a virtual world.
That's just my guess, that virtual worlds and social networking can be beneficial to each other, and neither needs to see the other as a threat.
As an aside, I was on There all the time during its beta days, and absolutely loved it.
