Brave New World: InWorldz
A friend recently asked me...another virtual world??? Why???

InWorldz (InWorldz.com) is a user created virtual world based off the OpenSim software with no cost to join. The founders are currently involved in efforts to move past this source code and more closely mirror the SL standard. IW has approximately 26,776 members. While there are currently no surfable waves, Tommy Parrot has created realistic swells, foamy swells, shore breakers, ocean glow and realistic sound effects to give you the feel of the ocean. He hopes to see if he can create some surfable waves soon, altho he's not sure how they will work InWorldz.
While many of the same movement and operations available in Second Life (SL) are available in InWorldz (IW), and if you know how to function in SL, you will have no problem IW, the technology in IW lags behind SL at this point. However you will find less expensive land, opportunities to create and sell, live music, and many other social events. A search of "surf" in the classifieds will turn up surfer jewelry, swirling waters, a male avatar that is said to have a "surfer" look, and even a "Hula" shop. If you're brave enough to check out a new world, pop into InWorldz and check out the opportunities.
