Bayou Boat Works, Backwater Aero Services, and model railroad building
Virtual worlds are model worlds.  If you own one, you get to play with it.  You can let your friends play with it, too, because virtual worlds are populated with real people.  Here is an example of a model world where people can play with boats and airships.  And the tracks are laid for the train system, though the trains are not running yet.

              Updated 4/6/2018
              Improving browser technology allows users to enter a virtual world directly from the browser. This capability will eliminate several barriers to entry for virtual worlds and offer immediate gratification for people interested in exploring virtual worlds and interacting with the people there.

              ***2016 PROMO: OSHG: Digiworldz intro promotes OpenSim. When HG grids promote their virtual worlds, they promote the hypergrid.

              Digiworldz intro promotes OpenSim.   
              When HG grids promote their offerings, 
              they promote the hypergrid.
              Commercial grids using OpenSim have good reason to promote their virtual worlds to the public.  Videos are easily seen by anyone with a browser.  People already in virtual worlds can see what commercial grids can offer.  And people wondering about virtual worlds can see what we do in virtual worlds.

              Virtual Surreality?  Moving surrealism?  
              Is what you imagine real?  Are you really imagining? 
              "Gravity is a Mistake."   A surreal title for a surreal video.  Never send to know if it is really art.  It is surreal for you.

              Friday, December 2, 2016

              2016 PROMO: PEOPLE: Can we promote hypergrid activities too much? Does it become spam?

              Can we promote hypergrid activities too much?  
              Does it become spam?  
              Promotion can become spam.  More easily, it can become wasted effort.  Look for ways to spread your promotion. But just because you see the same announcement several times, that does not mean people not following virtual worlds are seeing that.  And those are the people we want to get the word to. 

              • I see lots of hypergrid notices.  I often see the same event promoted 3 or 4 times.
              • It is not spam to me.  I like to see those notices.
              • The reason I see those notices is that I ask for notices in lots of G+ communities.
              • I usually open one of these notices and pass it on to my profile stream.  
              • And from my profile stream maybe to elsewhere, preferably in the outworld.
