Daden has thrown another interesting tool into the virtual world space with their “World Finder” application.  A nice web-app that allows you to select a combination of aspects you find important (security, configurability, public/private access, etc) and then let it recommend some options.

Which brings us to the ratings allocated to each world characteristics. These aren’t scientific. These are our personal view, BUT reflecting over 10 years of virtual world expertise and the delivery of over 100 virtual world projects to paying commercial clients. We’ve deliberately limited the parameters to 12 (we couldn’t manage 10 and could easily have had 50), but have tried to chose those which we think are the most critical in virtual world selection and which force users down one route or another (eg graphic quality varies only by degrees but in-world building is binary). More than happy to debate if we’ve chosen the right 12 (but only if you say which you’d drop), but we WON’T enter into debate about the ratings, they are just our view.
