Virtual Hangouts

There is growing trends in virtual worlds hangouts for crossworld gamers.....
First was Koinup, later came AvatarsUnited and recently Myrl

Each of these sites has some specific features...

Koinup is most used by Second Life people
while Avatars United seems more focused on mmorpgs and myrl focused on new social worlds as Twinity, Vivaty and Habbo

they are also different in regards of approach. Myrl is more like a Digg-like environment, while Koinup is more focused on a UGC approach similar to Youtube or Flickr. AvatarsUnited seems instead based on gilds or something

lets wait and see if they will add new features in the next months!

Second Life and Metaverse Places

If yoou are wondering how difficult is to find a place in Metaverse....
well the answer is yes.,.....it is quite difficul

the reason is that we don't have tool for see with at a first glance how is,or where is a particolar places....or where it is possible to find a particolar scenery


This NWN article on Second Life Places is quite interesting!

And even more interesting is the Koinup project devoted to Second Life locations

We need these kinds of project to orient better in metaverse.....
I hope others will add something similar very soon!
