Wow - this is big. MSN Messenger has teamed up with GoPets, and via a bunch of plugins, chatters can run GoPets directly from their message window. At least, that's what I think's going on, it's kind of hard to tell from this picture, and I use AIM. Oops.
Kim calls it an 'activity window' - talk about a playground! - and points out:
GoPets, is a 3D persistent virtual world (some would say 'casual mmo meets tamagochi') with an in-game item sales biz model. Windows Live Messenger is a communications app with an installed base of over a quarter billion people. I'd say that's got some potential, no? :-)
I'd agree with you there, old chum. Yup.
