Metaverse Meetup

Ever combined the Web, real life™, Second Life, World of Warcraft, Google Earth, Nintendo, Facebook, Moore's Law and the unfolding human experience into a single thought (which, perhaps, you then Twittered over your iPhone)? Working on an art or web or game or virtual world project? Have an avatar? Are an avatar? Think video games can save the world or that the world is already a video game? (Or think that's the worst thing you've ever heard?) Does Snow Crash ring any bells even if you're way too cool to find it fascinating in public? For people actively working on, researching, or interested in creative, mixed-reality, social web, video game, virtual world, mapping, simulation, or 3D projects. http://meetup.com/metaversemee...

Lively was #3 pageview-wise in October...although I am not sure how meaningful these trends are, since Myrl doesn't seem to have the traffic it would need to be significant for the overall growth of virtual worlds. what do you think? - Gaby Benkwitz ☼
