Weblo - what assets do you own?

cambkey · 09-26-2006, 04:25 AM

A new virtual community goes live today at 12.00 EST: weblo.com although their servers are struggling to keep up at the mo

background: http://www.techweb.com/wire/ebiz/193004956

Its a kind of Second Life meets Monopoly site where people can manage and trade in real estate, cities, politicians, or celebrities as well as any domain they want e.g business.com, shopping.com can all redirect to your site or be parked.

It remains to be seen if its a case of 'Emperor's new clothes' - These virtual domains have been tried before at New Net and DotWorlds without long-term success but judging by the feverish purchasing @2-4 dollars a pop in the last 24 hrs by those who pre-registered, plenty are speculating that Weblo will work

Its good to dream - I own poker.com, manage Brad Pitt (somebody has already offered me $35) and I am the Mayor of Seattle

anybody else playing and if so what did you get?

I haven't heard on this site before but it looks like it could be pretty interesting...

It's a little addicting. I hope it grows fast and furious. I think it'll need the early investors to really work their assets.

addicting you say!? ...its worst than domains!

A few initial glitches, but the concept is very interesting...
