Meta Hooby Whaty?

Virtual Worlds are all the rage. Indie Game Development is on the rise. And everyone is flocking to the Social Web. Metaplace is the confluence of these trends.

From their website, http://www.metaplace.com/information/about ...



"Metaplace is the world's first open platform that harnesses the power of the Web to allow anyone to imagine, build and live in their own unique virtual world.

Our vision is to enable users to build a network of worlds - from community to games to education to business -- creating an ecosystem where they collaborate, socialize and conduct commerce forming new societies and economies as we do in the real world today. "


Game development and virtual world creation have learning curves. Metaplace provides a low barrier to entry and opens these fields to wider audiences. You don't have to know computer science or any gamer jargon. You can just build and create. Or play.

To get up to speed on Metaplace, visit the many blogs that are springing up. I have listed several.

Every village has an idiot. 99% of the time, they are blabbering fools. But every once in a while, they say something truly insightful.
