Heck, most of the cool content you see on the Web are hacks compared to the robust abilities of C++ and Java. Trying to fit a 3D environment into a 2D browser doesn't make any sense. It's like using a horse to pull a car. You need a more powerful browser, and that is why the Second Life system works so well. They will be building Web functionality into the 3D space, but it will quickly become apparent the Web is a lot less useful than we thought it was before virtual worlds came along. The Web is great for displaying static content, but data visualization and intuitive manipulation can only be achieved in a 3D space.
