Twinity has just undergone a Major management change, all the senior management have left.

ONLY their ex CTO is now with the company, and he is the CEO now? Technical Guy running a Virtual world? This is going to be interesting.

I wonder whats up on their sleeves.
It also means that all the things developed so far with Twinity has not be meeting expectations.

Hmm I just heard metaversum the company that owns twenty is retrenching staff and is having problem continuing . After spending much money building Singapore , Berlin , London , new York , Miami .

I think they are running out of ideas to beef up their numbers . Their alexa rank is declining and subscribers are not coming back in . I am meeting less and less people everytime I log in .

Their web site is also running low on events . All this is painting a bad sign . Anyone can confirm?

As predicted one year ago, Twinity is dying, they have just closed their SIngapore office.

I think more bad news coming.

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.
