We know some of you have been waiting a couple of weeks to get into the system. We’re just trying to wrap up a few small issues and then we’ll be sending invitations over the course of the next week. Sorry for the delay, and thanks for sticking with us!
Metaverse ’08: Overview of virtual worlds
There was an event called Metaverse ’08 a few days ago. There was apparently an interesting session where an overview of virtual worlds was presented. You can find two write-ups about it from the Otherland Group and from Mr Topf. Twinity was mentioned as one of the mirror worlds in the 20-30 year old demographic. I always think it’s interesting when people try to classify our demographic for us, because I don’t believe there is one. As with all virtual worlds, there may be different appeal for different use cases among many different age and social groups.

New poll: What is the best time slot for Twinity parties?
We’ve heard from some Twinizens that our normal 7 PM (1900) CET party time doesn’t accommodate them well. So here’s a new poll for the next couple of weeks to get your feedback on it. Vote on the right!
Poll results: How often does Twinity crash?
The results are in:
- Every time I use it: 43%
- Every 2-3 times: 25%
- Every 5 or so times: 18%
- Hasn’t crashed on me yet: 14%
