There was also a competitor to Second Life, First Life. http://www.boingboing.net/2007/01/21/first_life_sl_parody.ht...

One of the selling points was "Fornicate using your actual genitals!".

I like their API. :-)

hello(name) Greet name. Typically required to initiate further interaction.

In some cases I am experiencing trouble when using the hello() function call. It would appear that certain high performance instances are optimized to only accept() hello()s from other high performance instances, and will not respond to some or all other instances.

Is there somewhere I can report a bug?

Also, highters instances can do words-injection and MITM attack between me and the other user. And i can't react !

Don't know why they wouldn't use protocol buffers for this. Much more efficient.

Their API seems too complicated. Can't they just support JSON? It'd be way easier to parse.

I've been beta testing their API for a while now. Sometimes it's hard to initiate wanted actions with other users, but I guess it's OK in most use cases.

Has several vulnerabilities some of which include sweet-talk and wearing a nice suit. Hashtags may include side-effects.

good, now that joke's been made.

The API is weak, though. Everyone knows you lead with something interesting, and go to the name only after an actual conversation. UNLESS you're using friend-based authentication, where a third party initiates the handshake.
