Hello! This is Betsy Book, creator of Virtual Worlds Review. For three years, VWR offered a basic guide to persistent online 2D and 3D virtual worlds that emphasize social interaction (MMOSGs). I launched the site on April 15, 2003 and since then have witnessed a surge in interest in all different kinds of virtual worlds. In February 2006, I signed on as a full-time staff member of Makena Technologies, creators of the social virtual world There. Because I felt it would not be possible to provide truly objective reviews of other virtual worlds, I placed VWR "on hold" at that time. As of now I have no further plans to offer future updates. It's been a very exciting time in this space, and the emergence of social virtual worlds as a cultural phenomenon is just beginning. I'm thrilled to have a chance to gain first-hand experience helping to actually develop a social virtual world, even though it means VWR must go into statis. I hope you enjoy the "snapshot" that Virtual Worlds Review offers of the years 2003-2006 and that you continue to find the information a helpful starting point in your own process of discovering social virtual worlds.
