...your little niche in the world starts sprouting dubious "industry groups" of indeterminate purpose and imperceptible utility. Thus was my happy discovery of the Association of Virtual Worlds. Found while perusing Terra Nova, they appear to aspire to relevance while not apparently offering anything of value to the industry they target.
I did like the Blue Book Consumer Guide to Virtual Worlds. Nothing quite like adding value through compiling a list of easy-to-find information.
