Right night its clouded with too much Second Life hype. Making it embeddable is a great idea, if only it was more of a viewer so you could see avatars moving around in the embed as well. mike thanks for covering virtual worlds here, also agree this space is going to be huge in the future.

Also, the problem with things on the web (why it looks cartoonish, sterile) is b/c of the limits of the browser. That's why a lot of the more realistic looking systems (second life, active worlds) require a huge client download and install. to Derek: the main target population is to people that play the sims.

One of our next features is to add a music player into the house. We actually haven't considered open sourcing it, but perhaps in the future (like 6 months down the line). We'd be interested in talking with you about the music station as well, it depends on what you want with it.

You probably read that I was in grad school, but I took a leave of absence to do this for about a year (cuz doing a startup plus grad school was to be too much).

A key question is what is the target market for this site? Is it teens and pre-teens or a more mature audience. The problem with all these Flash sites is that they all end up looking the same: cartoonish, sterile, and ultimately 2 dimensional. This is cute, but for anyone over 21 years old, it's a curiosity, not a social network. This is a nice enhancement to the Cyworld Miniroom concept and is closing in on the Habbo Hotel model.
