Weblin is a really fun tool that lets you see who else is on the same websites you´re checking out (if they´re using Weblin) in avatar form. This lets you make friends and talk to new people surfing the same sites, making the web even less isolated place.

There are lots of avatars to choose from, including 3D ones, so you can find one that matches your personality. You can even move your avatar to be closer to a particular avatar on the screen, as if you´re walking towards them to socialize. Right now most of the sites I visit haven´t had anyone from Weblin visiting, but with time and more users, this could be a really fun tool.


In their own words
“Weblin is our alter ego, our virtual presence on the internet. Weblin is what makes people visible on the internet. With weblin people who are on the same webpage can see and communicate with each other.
Why it might be a killer
It´s a unique service that´s fun to use and makes people feel less isolated on the web. It´s like taking MyBlogLog´s pictures you can see on the side and making them a lot more interactive, because then you can talk to those people and see who´s actually visiting at that moment.
Some questions

How are they planning on making a profit from this? If enough people join and there are so many little avatars all over the screen, will people just be annoyed with the service? Will people want to download software to their computer?
