Over the past few months, we have actively solicited input from you, the Second Life residents, on such design features as public spaces, guest rooms and exteriors – everything from color palette to space planning. After reviewing all of your comments, several changes to the overall design of aloft are a direct result from your feedback. Not only have these changes been applied to the virtual hotel, they will also be reflected in the “real-life” aloft hotels. http://www.virtualaloft.com/ aloft aloft

Roo Reynolds, Product Manager at Government Digital Service “Metaverse”?

Well, Neal Stephenson wrote ‘Snow Crash’ in 1992. In it, he predicts virtual worlds (think William Gibson’s “cyberspace”).

“As Hiro approaches the Street, he sees two young couples … He is not seeing real people, of course. This is all a part of the moving illustration drawn by his computer according to specifications coming down the fiber-optic cable. The people are pieces of software called avatars. They are the audiovisual bodies that people use to communicate with each other in the Metaverse. Hiro's avatar is now on the Street, too, and if the couples coming off the monorail look over in his direction, they can see him, just as he's seeing them.”

Roo Reynolds, Product Manager at Government Digital Service Some examples…

Habbo is aimed squarely at pre-teens. Cute pixel-based graphics, a heavy emphasis on decorating your personal space and meeting and chatting with friends.

Roo Reynolds, Product Manager at Government Digital Service Some worlds are free-form platforms rather than games. Some even have their own economies. There.com has the Therebuck, and you can see on this screenshot the invitation to earn some of this virtual currency by building and selling products to other users. Might be a vehicle, might be clothing..

Roo Reynolds, Product Manager at Government Digital Service While Second Life has the Linden Dollar (notable for being able to be converted to and from real money within the system).

In this recent screenshot, we see 31,477 people are online right now, and over $!M has changed hands between residents (e.g. users) in the past 25 hours.

In fact, the whole web has become largely about User Generated Content. People want to share content. They are the creators too.
