SecondLife isn't the only virtual world in town. Sure, it may be the most well known whose name actually draws recognition, but it's also limited to those who want to download a separate app to use. For marketing purposes, however, a browser based virtual world is ideal, and the folks at ElectricSheep (creator of many a successful SecondLife virtual island), have created precisely that with their new site, WebFlock. WebFlock offers out-of-the-box options for companies who want to create a virtual web presence. Features include chatting, muting, emotes, load balancing, avatars, games and live support. It's flash-based so almost all browsers can support it. WebFlock provides a full suite of services to get you the virtual world you want. It's not exactly cheap, though, a basic 12 month implementation will cost under $100,000.
