The Second Life Herald is an interesting a news source about life in the metaverse. Today there's an interview with Trevor Smith, the founder of Ogoglio, which builds itself as an "Online Business District" getting ready to open its doors.


Through the years, the Herald has discussed various open source alternatives to Second Life, including Open Croquet and MUPPETS, but we haven't yet looked at Ogoglio. In this interview, we talk to Ogoglio creator Trevor Smith, who explains how Ogoglio is a fundamentally different project from those that went before, in that in addition to being open source, it is entirely web-based, and relies on off the shelf tools (languages and protocols) that should be familiar to most web developers. Ogoglio spaces will thus be accessible via standard web browsers, and there should be an army of developers capable of developing such spaces.

If you are looking for an alternative to Second Life you should check out this virtual world. It has a complete economy system so you can earn money like you can in real life and the price to play the game is free. Costs for land and tier are also a lot lower compared to Second Life so if you are looking for an alternative world this might be it for you.
