Gary Hayes recently posted a video tour of over fifty social virtual worlds -- his blog entry here (with some commentary). I had not seen many of these before. This is a neat resource to get a few seconds of introduction to what some of these spaces look like.
The video is embedded after the fold.
Interesting tour. Thanks for posting. I hadn't heard of some of them.
My favorite part: the Nietzsche quote, "Invisible threads are the strongest ties."
Funny to have Spore in there before it's even released and though it's not really a multi-user space.

Nice tour, but it's already outdated. We just launched Multiverse Places BETA (www.mv-places.com) this week!
It's an open beta so please try it out:

Multiverse Places BETA screenshots
It's a pretty rough version right now, but there will be a LOT more to come in terms of addictive gameplay, new zones, improved avatar interaction and improved customization!

Hey Bob --
I downloaded it today, actually. You should do a post here on TN about Multiverse -- I'm be interested in hearing what's coming down the pike. :-)
