Jasper got one point right. Nevertheless, I would say that, as part of Yoowalk’s team, we considered the attraction of internet users for social places in 3D. See Habbo Hotel for instance. Ok, this might attract only teens, ie the next generation. But they are the future. And they will not refer to the internet in 1998, since they do not know it. They will consider Yoowalk as it is, ie as a social and virtual world, which they already prooved, attracts them.

We also believe that adult people will be considering positively the way to stroll down on the web, instead of typing key words in search engines. This new way of browsing the web, offered by Yoowalk, might attract people that want to spend time on the internet without knowing exactly what to look for. Exactly the same way people spend time on Youtube because they have nothing in particular to do. Yoowalkers might want only to fool around, hang about in different places of Yoowalk. Thus the web gets a physical and geographical representation, to which internet users can refer.

I’d also recommand you to go to Yoowalk.com: the GUI has evolved, we hope, positively to you.

See you in Yoowalk ;-)

But I was also referring to the fact that back in the ancient history of Internet, e-commerce had to look like a real shopping mall.A couple of years/months later we all agreed that wasn’t the way to go.

And now they’re translating an online structure into (virtual) brick and mortar. Seems like history is repeating. But that’s not an Internet thing…

lay-out isn’t very slick (yet), but I have the feeling that that is also part of me the making it accessible part.
