3D interactivity enhances the social experience of the web. And since the early, entirely text based mutli-user dungeons, people swarm to the find the hottest places to hang out and chat or role play. Social networking sites like Myspace and Youtube offer more and more interactive features to facilitate relationships. Facebook and Flickr allow users to share a "wall" or room, enhanced with their friends commentary. Soon whole virtual economies with multiple currencies emerged offering exciting new opportunities. Some of these online realms host the development of whole new organizations. Others offer new ways to view the web and our social spaces. And many are free and open source. Here are a few I have been investigating.
  1. 3B - Represents the web like a city with malls and rooms.
  2. 3dxplorer - 3DXplorer uses Java so no need to install any additional software.
  3. Amazingworlds - 3D Tourism
  4. Empire Of Sports - Create Teams and play against real people. 3D Fantasy Teams
  5. ExitReality - Enter every website as a 3D virtual world
  6. FootBall SuperStars - Virtual World for football fans by football fans.

    5. IMVU - Avatars chat in animated 3D scenes.
    6. Kaneva - One of the most mature roomshare sites.
    7. Lively - Network of avatars and virtual rooms created and decorated by its users. Google launched Lively as an experiment in providing people with more ways to express themselves on the Web. Users created thousands of cafes, bars, discos, tropical islands, treehouses, space stations, galleries, bedrooms and more. Users shared their rooms with people from all over the real world, meeting and chatting with each other via their customized avatars. The experiment ended December 31, 2008. Keep your eye out.
    8. Openlife - Created by over 50,000 registered users in the Openlife Beta Virtual World.
    9. Second Life - Free 3D virtual world where users can socialize, connect and create using voice and text chat. If you want to set up your own world, you don't have to pay.
    10. SmallWorlds - Cartoonish worlds where you share experiences like playing games, watching YouTube videos, listening to your favourite band, browsing through photo galleries.
    11. Smeet - I think most of the hot avatars are bots.
    12. There - Virtual World and Economy

  34. Yoowalk - 45,000 members, very weird!!
  35. Zon - Zon is an unique interactive massively multiplayer online role playing game for learning Mandarin Chinese.
I am expanding this list as we speak, but I already have encountered contingents of infowarriors scattered throughout the metaverse. And the tools to unite become increasingly available and easy to use. I am interested in ideas for how to get the word out. Like many of the Fortune 500, we can leverage this technology for education, organization, and fun. Let me know if you have any information about people actively waking people up in these or other online virtual communities. Here is a good collection of the military's own sources on the matter. http://www.au.af.mil/info-ops/cyberspace.htm

As for agenda, I was first turned on to the idea of virtual communities when I saw that major law schools were having meetings using them. But agendas are complicated. I also noticed CDC using second life type virtual worlds to practice mass forced inoculation in case of pandemic.

These are the kind of things they think they can use this stuff for, training clinicians to do mass vaccinations. Their "patients" aren't bots, they are players in second life, earning their digital dollars to help "educate" the "professionals".

Wow Chip, you take Computer Chic' to another level.
