I’ve been under an NDA for the last couple of months, so I couldn’t reveal anything about There.com, the mysterious startup that I started investigating back in May. Well, There.com launched its public beta.
In short, I pegged it with my original prediction: “like Habbo Hotel meets Everquest.” It’s a 3D chat environment, where people can interact with one another, explore the game universe, and spend real-world money on character upgrades and in-world items. Thanks to David Weekly for getting me involved with the project.
It looks good, but it’s only for Windows…..
Maybe it’ll run under Virtual PC for OS X… Wanna give it a shot?
I’d have to really think about that, since my little iBook 700 runs VirtualPC NT 4 a lot faster than 98.
