Google is creating their own virtual world to compete with Second Life instead of purchasing it from Linden Labs.
The virtual world will be called “My World” and I am sure it will tie into all off Google’s other services making it immediately more useful than Second Life.
The question is will Google only use it for education purposes or give the users the ability to make money which is frankly the only thing that makes Second Life such a ground breaking and successful achievement.
Google is currently testing the My World virtual world at Arizona State University on college students.
Wonderful news. I have a new neighbour! Monica Weir has moved into the land adjoining my church grounds.
The horrible camping spot next door to me has gone, lasting 3 weeks more than I predicted. It was the shoddiest, cheapest, crappiest build, turning its back away from the ocean and with a centre filled up to the gills with ghastly dance camping spots.
Music was blaring 24 hours, and numerous disreputable types wandered over and made pests of themselves by harassing my brides.
The owner was unfortunately one of the rudest people I have come across in any world. One day, after 3 naked males had been prancing for 20 minutes in my church, I asked her if she had a policy about nudity. She told me to get a life.
Within a quarter of an hour I had 9 naked newbies in my church disrupting a wedding. When I booted them and added their names to my ban list, she told me I should move my church if I didn’t like discos. Heavens, and I’ve been here for over a year!
But now I have a new neighbour, Monica. And she creates wedding items!!!
So now we have Wedding Lane at Weirs Way with everything you need for perfect nuptials. I couldn’t have wished for a more suitable business, nor for a friendlier neighbour.
Three Cheers
