Small issue with blog comments

Just a quick FYI – we’re having a small issue with the spam filter on here. It’s catching valid comments as well, even with the captcha. We’re in the process of trying to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress, but having a couple of small problems with the Twinity theme we have here. So it may take us a few days to correct this. Our apologies.

The Twinity shopping tour

Sered has published a nice piece about a shopping tour in Twinity over on Koinup.

To be honest: I don’t like to go shopping, really. It’s inconvienient, tends to consume copious amounts of money, and what’s with those clothes anyway? I just want the same pair of jeans I bought last year!

Virtual world shopping is, however, a different story. You get to teleport instantly to your destination: all shops are just a mouseclick away. You can buy or wear pretty much anything you like: it’s ‘your world, your imagination’. And most of the time, it’s affordable too! It’s no surprise that things like fashion, avatar accessories, home decoration and designer furniture are popular in these worlds.

There’s also a great set of photos here.
