David Holloway, Founder and Editor,The Metaverse Journal.
David writes: The Journal is a site
devoted to bringing an Australian perspective to virtual worlds. Launched in
November 2006, we believe that virtual worlds at the very least may bring a new
approach to internet-based interaction, and we want to cover their evolution.
Virtual worlds may provide some of society’s biggest opportunities and greatest
challenges in coming years – it’s an area worth keeping informed about.info@metaversejournal.com>
