Vic Keegan just wrote a piece on virtual worlds in The Guardian. The mention of Twinity is a bit smaller, but there are some interesting note from this article. First, the title:
Virtual worlds take over the online world
That’s a bold statement, but naturally in line with our vision. Also, it was interesting to see the notes on how many worlds are from European or European-backed companies.
And, of course, we need to include the mention of Twinity.
Another European world is Twinity of Germany - not yet public - which mashes virtual worlds with real cities, including New York. My avatar has an apartment in Berlin, though I have not yet figured out how to open the front door. One neat feature is that you can upload a photo of yourself (front and side views) to paste on to your avatar to make it more lifelike.
Thanks for the mention!
Twinity is going totally 80’s big time in the Bodacious Breakfast Club this Thursday, July 10, at 19:00 (CET)! Guest DJs will spin your favorite 80’s classics from Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Visage to The Pretenders and Billy Idol. Wicked!
Blow it out and dye! Like, duh, we mean your hair! Purple or green, wannabe, punk or valley girl - whatever! Join the fun, dress up outrageously and party hearty like it was 1984. It’s going to be totally tubular, dude!
We’ll provide awesome visuals on the dancefloor and pump up the volume on the tunes! Dudes and dudettes, are you stoked or what? Let’s rock the cradle of love!
PS: Check your Gifts folder for excellent 80’s t-shirts and some seriously bad sunglasses. Rock on!
The registration closed, but we want to know if you’re in! Let us know in the latest poll.
It’s a 3-way tie for first:
