Advertisers already complain that they can’t reach the teen market through […]
SmallWorlds is a cute browser-based 3-D world environment. You can design your avatar (big heads and small bodies), choose some clothes, and create a pet to be with you in your virtual world. You can furnish a room after undertaking a range of tasks which collect points that you can spend in one of the […]
Sounds like a cool idea. Forget downloading 50 megabytes from Second Life so that you can be in a 3-D world. ExitReality enables any ordinary HTML website to become a 3-D experience.

Social networking sites like YouTube and myspace have changed perceptions of the web.
