Travel Plans Postponed To New Virtual World

Journeys is a new virtual world that seeks to recreate real world destinations via integration with Flickr and Yahoo Maps.
Virtual worlds have proved mostly disappointing for Second Life and Google’s recently launched Lively.
A feature hardly mentioned but with arguably the most potential is the offline interaction virtual characters can engage in independent of its real world counterpart.

Can Journeys successfully attract virtual users interested in the physical world or are virtual worlds a dead end for now?
