The quick and easy way
Quick and easy ways for people to find out about virtual worlds.
- Start at the outposts, where you can chat with the natives on your browser.
- Virtual worlds are mostly made of communities.
- So check some virtual world communities with outposts on Google+.
- This link will find some Communities virtual worlds g+
- Pick some that fit your interests, join, and ask about their activities
- Or join this general community: Opensim Virtual and ask about your interests.
- If you have a particular interest, make a Google query like this:
- sailing virtual worlds
- Or, for the cutting edge, drop by my little web-world (below the break).

- Walk forward with the up arrow key. Turn with a side-pointing arrow key.
- Click on the blue ball in a chair to sit there.
- Click the "End animation" button (upper right) to stand.
- When you are sitting, press a side-pointing arrow key to look around.
- Click the mic button (bottom of screen) to go into talk mode.
- Voice works in Chrome, but may not in Firefox or Edge, until they fix a bug.
- Type (bottom left) for text messages.
- You can paste in web links.
- They will show in a different color and will open a web page on click.
- Unless you bring someone with you, there won't be much to do yet.
- I am there almost every day at 10-10:30 California time.
- So drop by my little web-world and let's talk.
