New report warns of dangers of trashy avatars


If you’re running a business that has a presence in a virtual world, market research firm Gartner thinks you might want to make sure your employees’ avatars aren’t dressed like Lady Gaga at the VMAs.

“Companies with codes of conduct for other Web activities, such as blogging, should be able to extend those policies into virtual environments,” a release Wednesday from Gartner announcing its new report “Avatars in the Enterprise: Six Guidelines to Enable Success” explained. “However, because 3-D environments add the visual dimension, they will need to make sure that their policies also cover dress codes.”
