1. We may be biased, but Tateru Nino’s weekly Virtual Whirl column over at Massively is always worth a read – this week it has lots of Linden Lab staff movements and quite a bit more.
2. 2D social networks for avatars continue to thrive. One of the big success stories is Koinup, which has recently been adopted by Frenzoo. I’ve also had some conversations with recent entrant Moolto, which has developed a decent following so far. If you have a social network your avatar takes part in that you’d like to share, then let us know.
3. Its been two weeks since we launched the Metaverse Reader application for iPhone / iPod Touch and it’s great to be able to say there are now well over a hundred regular users of the app. Enhancements to the application are already underway, so why not give it a try?
4. The latest update to the Second Life Viewer 2 is now available, with a bunch of issues resolved.
5. For the dedicated, this very detailed post on the emergence of Facebook social gaming worlds is well worth the read.
6. Metaverse Health has had a facelift and there’s some exciting health-related stories coming up in the next few weeks. We’ll post most of them here, but if there’s room in your RSS reader, we’d love to have you on board there as well 😉
Thanks for mentioning the Koinup-Frenzoo partnership. Basically, we teamed up with Frenzoo team in order to leverage Frenzoo and Koinup members and allow them to share more easily stuffs from Frenzoo to Koinup. We found in Frenzoo a wonderful team and a delicious community
