This task was abit wierd to me. I have never been a member, or even visited, a 3D World on the internete that can also be used as a socialising tool. I have heard about them but never been interested in finding out what they were all about and why so many people, especially young kids and teenagers, are becoming hooked and obsessed. After viewing a few of these 3D worlds, i was able to see what some of the differences that this type of socialising tool has compared to MSN.
On these 3D worlds, users can create an image of themselves or what they what others to see them as. They have the ability to chose hair styles, outfits and many other character defining aspects. On MSN you only have your name to show people who you are and what you may be about. This is a huge difference that i think is very imnportant. The ability to create your ownidentity. Users who use these 3D world and that dont particularly like a certain aspect of themselves are able to change it to what they want. For example; if a girl has brown hair but really wants blond hair, then on these 3D worlds she has the power and ability to change this aspect about herself.
