SmallWorlds : a second life in your browser
SmallWorlds is a virtual world currently in beta. It runs entirely in your browser, so you don't need to install a client program. (It's based on Adobe Flex technology I believe, so you just need Flash.)It is not made of worlds or islands, but is a collection of rooms. When you sign up for free, you get your own room that you can decorate. On the image you see me and my cat pet shopping for some furniture.
What is cool is how they integrate for exampe YouTube video's: you can have a TV player set, and watch with other avatars to YouTube video. The place is also packed with all kind of games to play, and I think they are working on an API set to include your own games in there. Now, would it not be cool to play trivia quizzes in this virtual world with questions that come from this site? :-) Just dreaming out loud.
Anyway, looked promising...
