Timeless Cities, FakeTown, Voki

May 17th, 2007

The march of worlds outside the gamespace continues:

Timeless Cities just landed $1m in funding. No word on what exactly it is.

I got pointed to FakeTown today, which I had seen before but not in a while. I dig the map view, but couldn’t find anyone else.

Plain old avatars are also booming — Voki is a new system for this which seems to have some similarities to Sitepal.
