A fairly incredible video overview showing the range of virtual world platforms. Incredible both for the time it must have taken to compile and edit, but also for being able to remember the avatar names and passcodes for each of the visited environments.
(OK, sorry, had to put that in….it’s a running pet peeve of mine that technology hasn’t yet given me an easy, secure way of not needing to register and reregister, remember and…well, you get the idea, and don’t get me started on LiveID and openID, I’m just saying).
In any case, the tour includes:
Second Life, HiPiHi, Kaneva, Twinity, ActiveWorlds, LagunaBeach vMTV. There.com, Habbo, Google Lively, FootballSuperstars, Weblin, AmazingWorlds, CyWorld, Whyville, Gaia Online, RocketOn, Club Penguin, YoVille, Webkinz, BarbieGirls, Prototerra, IMVU, Spore, vSide, Tale in the Desert, SpineWorld, Stardoll, The Manor, There.com, ExitReality, Vastpark, Qwaq, PS3Home, GoSupermodel, Grockit, Croquet, Metaplace, Coke Studios, Dreamville, Dubit, Mokitown, Moove, Muse, The Palace, Playdo, Sora City, Voodoo Chat, TowerChat, Traveler, Virtual Ibiza

Geez, thanks for the smile. And yeah, I’m insanely tied to this idea that it’s MY identity and I wanna keep it ON me. Silly, but it’s really a product of a bad memory and losing pass codes all the time and forgetting what e-mail I used to register. From now on, I’ll just write the stuff down on PAPER and try not to lose it!
