Tutorials and other articles to get you started in Cybalounge.  These have all you need to start putting together a web-world to tell visitors about your favorite topic.  That will work best if you set up welcome times when you are personally there to tell them yourself.

  • It can offer a limited sample of your virtual world place.
  • You can meet people and help them get into your virtual world.
  • It is a user-built world, like virtual worlds, so building is somewhat familiar. 
  • It uses some of the same resources, such as COLLADA files.
  • You can import things from virtual worlds into web-worlds.
  • You can import OAR files from OpenSim

Persistent communication and social interaction with visitors

  • Don't scheduled welcome times tie you down?
  • Not a lot.  You handle it on your computer.  
  • I schedule my welcome times right after lunch.  
  • If no one is there, I can check/answer my email and the news.  
  • I can make phone calls (on Skype) and write on this blog.
  • Those are all routine things I do several times a day anyway.
  • So I had to be at my computer -- I just have to set a time.
  • If someone comes in, I can defer those activities till later.
  • You can set up email notification when people enter:
