Metaplace: the evolved second life.

Well, in our discussions of second life, I remembered about a particular development that may be interesting to those interested about virtual worlds. It is Metaplace which functions as an evolution of the concepts and ideas that are presented in second life.

What it does is that it turns your internet browser, and a typical website, and transforms those into a virtual world. So instead of having a program to access a virtual world, anyone with the proper browser can access the virtual world simply by putting in the web address like a typical website.

Just in terms of achieving its promise I could see Metaplace recreating the Internet in terms of the way we experience it. Instead of viewing the internet as pages we would be able to experience every web address as an entirely different world and experience. Each person would be able to create their own second life for anyone to access.

Thoughts?
