Tonight on Blogs and Social Networks Blog Talk Radio we discussed Virtual Worlds, not the Meez, IMVU type Virtual Worlds this time (though these sites are incredible , but the Small Worlds, Second Life, CyberTown, PlayFish, Entropia Universe, and Gaia sorts of online Virtual Reality Worlds. Sites all about your Virtual Self, not so much (or at all) about your real life self.

SmallWorlds

SmallWorlds.com is the first site we went over. A browser based, no download required site where the fun actually begins as soon as you begin the sign up process. Creation of your Avatar is first with choices for hairstyle, eyes, mouth, etc. A bundle of choices with extras being released when you partake of the upgrade options. After checking your email and confirming your account, you are off to the “Quest Tutorials”. This is set up in such a great way (kudos to the Small Worlds Team) and made to be such interactive fun that the mini Quests “learning” directive seems to go by unnoticed You learn but it’s fun No worries. Check the show out for more on Small Worlds

PlayFish

Some of the festivities over at PlayFish.com’s Pet Society over the Thanksgiving holiday featured stacks of Turkeys and Pumpkin Pies stocking the shops with over 5 million pumpkin pies eaten! Over 5 million players are already on Facbook enjoying PlayFish with over 1 million playing every day! PlayFish will be introducing all kinds of new december treats and festive trees, decorations, and more to decorate your virtual home for Christmas. Don’t forget to stop by on December 25th for that special gift from the Mayor of Pet Society. Celebrate the festivities of pet Society style with PlayFish and Facebook.
