Huh…Multi-User Google Earth
From the Cool Concept dept., http://unype.com/ – a combination of “unite” and “Skype,” I guess. It’s a mashup that allows people to interact via Google Earth. Skype plugs in, too. Very tiny download. Also, September is Multi-User Google Earth Awareness Month. The guy behind it is Murat Aktihanoglu, 3D guru, an ex-co-worker of mine.
Like, why hasn’t anybody done this yet? Does this mean we don’t have to put up with lame-o landscapes created on Second Life?
The following URL links to a 3D enviroment that is so much more interesting to me than SL or Unype:

BTW, have you ever read about or met Urizenus Sklar?

I used to read his SL news blog more than a year ago. It had pretty interesting stuff in it.
