Sered has some nice new words about Twinity:
This week was a good week for mirrorworld Twinity.
…
I feel it’s coming together nicely, it all operates much smoother these days, even though it’s clearly still beta.
…
these days there are more avatars on the Berlin landing point than I have ever seen previously in Twinity. The screenshot only shows a few, there were much more! It’s getting busier there, and that’s a good thing.
Thanks for writing the update, sered!

One of our Twinizens has written a post about volumes of text in virtual worlds. We just thought we would link to it from here. Ryan has some interesting and accurate thoughts about how the 3D virtual world still relies on large amounts of text for labeling, searching, communicating and working through the 3D learning curve.
Twinity is growing according to Alexa Rank and Reach (in this picture), already leaving There, Kaneva, vSide and vMTV behind.
