Good Luck to the investors who funded this venture.

I been looking at Startup for a long time and this is the worst Startup Implementation I have seen.

Its neither here or there.. Graphics lousy, user interface lousy and worse of all. No clear idea of what the users are supposed to see or do in the platform. If you ask me, I would say money wasted. Sounds like a newbie .

Rule number one in a start up. If you dont have a good product dont launch. It just makes the entire experience bad .

People will not come back in again..
Sounds like another 2nd life trying to push up numbers of users who register out of curiousity. Reality no active and repeat users.

Surely I’m not the only one who thinks the name makes it sound like *another* Twitter app? I almost overlooked this post completely before I realised it was more interesting than that.

not baaaad! but who needs these senseless 3d-wORLDS?

This is actually a nice idea. It is nice to have a sense of geography when entering these online worlds; you can relate to them much more quickly.

When I play Civilization, for example, I often play on a world map. It’s not simply that I like to know the map layout in advance. An actual world map imbues the game with a sense of history and makes ‘place’ more meaningful.

I imagine that people who play games such as WOW ultimately develop this same type of connection with maps that they are familiar with. But using an Earth map will give everyone with any sense of geography a connection to the game.

virtual worlds is an alternative to actually spending money for a plane ticket. Not to mention money for hotel, food, etc.

Geosimphilly.com is the state of the art in 3D cities. Twinity doesn’t even come close.

Asking who cares or griping about virtual tourism is pointless in the age of Virtual Earth, Google Earth and the expansion of 3d digital cities for extremely quick planning and defense needs.

That would be awesome. If they would limit people to using real names and allow integration with Facebook connect so I can actually interact with people I know, I’d consider using it.

“Virtual Tourism would be like reading books”

You are aware that “reading books” is pretty popular around the world, right?
