A new group called Gridsafari is forming and looking for people who want to explore all of the virtual worlds available on the 3D web, so if you are bored with Second Life, this may be an opportunity to make new friends and find other virtual worlds to explore. They have created a Google Group to make it easy to see what the group is doing, signup here.

Many Metaversed readers are residents of Second Life, but Linden Lab’s virtual world is not the only 3D social, commercial space out there. So, for those looking for a little adventure, or perhaps just a better understanding of the current state of the 3D web, GridSafari.com has been put together.

The 3D web is young, some might say not even realized to any significant degree as of yet, though new virtual spaces are popping up almost ever other week, and a veritable gold rush in the conference, consultancy and publications space is in full effect. At it’s heart though, Metaversed, of which the GridSafari group is part, is about exploration, discovery and curiosity. We want to know how these environments might be used for business, and about the technology they employ. We want to experience, and scrutinize what’s laid before us and consider the possibilities of a future where what we’re doing now is no longer the domain of the Meta Geek, but part of everybody’s daily online routine.
