Update 6/9/2015
"Our mission is to create a critical mass of buyers, sellers and content in order to help the Metaverse evolve from a collection of separate virtual worlds to a unified ecosystem."

The HG BeatThis list
We need things to make the Hypergrid serve us better. (See Maria's report.) In the BeatThis List, I will develop a list of what we need and what I think is the best we have now. I may be wrong. If so, people will tell me in the comments section. And this short list can't be all we need. So I expect to be updating this article. So use the comments section to suggest more needs.
- Grid welcome points. Make people glad they came.
- Virtual world welcome points. Littlefield shows features to consider
-
- Viewer: Make it easy for people to get to any place on the hypergrid
- The ideal Hypergrid address form--almost there in Firestorm
- Why Firestorm should be your default viewer
-
- HG market. Buyers want lots of choices. As in Amazon.com
- Kitely market
-
- Vehicle Physics. TBD
Virtual Reality is coming and it’s kickstarting the Metaverse. Just as the Internet is a collection of websites, the Metaverse is a collection of virtual environments. By the nature of the Metaverse, multiple virtual world platforms will compete for market share. This means that the Metaverse will be based on many technologies, which will make it difficult for content creators to reach and support all of their potential customers.
This is where Kitely Market comes in. Kitely Market is a virtual goods marketplace that enables content creators to serve avatars across the Metaverse from a single online store. Kitely Market automatically converts content to each platform, and delivers it directly to avatars. This saves buyers from having to deal with the complexities of importing 3D models.

How to handle a Hypergrid address
From any Hypergrid-enabled grid, paste the address into the address bar of Firestorm and press enter. Or paste it into the world map search bar of any viewer, search, and click Teleport when the destination is found. If it doesn't work, don't give up. Try again in a minutes. Sometimes the first try fails (probably times out). And try again a few hours later. Some hypergrid destinations are offline part of the day.
- The ideal Hypergrid address form--almost there in Firestorm
- If you get an address like this:
- hg.francogrid.org:80:Residence-09:/119/128/190
- paste it into the address bar of Firestorm, see if it takes you to the exact coordinates.
