A quote on the VastPark website describes this as “the Ning of virtual worlds”. VastPark is a 3D interactive platform which apparently allows you to create your own world. It is being labelled by some as the next Second Life.

The program has been in development since 2003 and since then the founder, Bruce Joy, says the focus has been on:

“how to scale the virtual web up to millions of worlds; how to connect them together; and how to solve the infrastructure issues so that no one person or company ‘owns’ the virtual web. Although our ‘beta’ software implementation requires Microsoft Windows®, our underlying framework is absolutely cross-platform and non-device specific.” (Bruce Joy, October 2007)

The Beta 2 version has now been released and you can sign up for the closed beta here.  It seems to be an interesting development so I’ll be keeping an eye on progress.
