SmallWorlds first online press coverage
January 9th, 2008 by Mitch Olson
We’ve been in so-called “stealth” mode for the last 12 months developing a product for what we think is one of the most exciting spaces on the internet - virtual worlds. The product is called SmallWorlds and quite simply it’s a virtual world that runs inside a web browser, without the need to download or install any other software. SmallWorlds enables users to build their own room, house, or even their own world, and to fill it with a wide variety of items and activities for them and their friends to enjoy together. With online friends and acquaintances, users can share experiences like playing games, watching YouTube videos, listening to their favourite band, browsing through photo galleries, and a whole lot more.

Today’s New Zealand Herald newspaper republished an article originally written for the inaugural issue of print magazine Startup in December, making this our first online press mention of SmallWorlds. You can read our brief mention here. http://start-up.co.nz/ (http://start-up.co.nz/) Our private beta starts next week so hoping for lots more press to come - watch this space.
